Educational accessibility in higher education institutions through the transformation of the academic environment for students with individual needs

Abstract

The study is relevant due to the challenge of ensuring effective educational support for people with disabilities. Adapting programs to inclusion remains complex and understudied, especially amid growing global challenges. The aim of the study is to analyze contemporary concepts of inclusive education development: adaptation of educational programs, provision of psychological and pedagogical support, and personalization of the educational process. The article discusses innovative approaches, means, and tools in the field of inclusive educational technologies. The nature of the impact of active digitalization of education on the effectiveness of inclusion in education is investigated. The potential of audiovisualization, gamification, project research, immersive technologies, and the case method is highlighted. A metaverse-based model for inclusive education of visually impaired students is proposed. The study shows that modern technologies can create effective learning environments, supported by proper psychological and pedagogical assistance.
