digital technologies for the increase of the degree of knowledge and digital literacy of
the population and also forming of the new technology basis, for development of the
social and economic sphere. The program aimed at providing a favorable environment
and the creation of opportunities for development, mastering and broad replication of
digital technologies provides changes in the field of education.
Education in digital society moves more and more on the digital educational medium
that is a uniform space for the organization of educational process and implementation
of information and technology and communicative interaction of all its participants [2].
In the digital medium, new opportunities appear: education becomes available to all,
opportunities for the choice of forms of education extend, the number of educational
tools and methods increases. The modern educational process partially moves on online
Wednesday that is the component of the digital educational medium. The online envi-
ronment solves the problem of the availability of education. Online educational tech-
nologies acquire special relevance in inclusive education, in the education of physically
disabled people (HIA). However, for the organization and maintenance of the educa-
tional process in the online environment, and especially for training among persons
with HIA, the special knowledge, and skills adapted under opportunities of the digital
medium [3] are necessary for the teacher [3].

Inclusive Education"
2.1 Relevance
With the distribution of digital technologies, mobile applications, their implementation
to education, there was the integration of traditional educational technologies to the
innovative digital technologies, and the concept of digital training acquired special rel-
evance. The educational process moved to the digital medium of the organization, and
the number of the new requirements connected with the ability to execute functions of
the tutor or the navigator in the acquisition of knowledge is imposed on teachers now.
Thus, the role of the teacher in the digital medium changes. From the carrier of
knowledge, the teacher turns into the navigator performing management of independent
activity trained in the digital medium of the educational organization.
It is necessary to prepare for the accomplishment of new duties of the teacher-tutor
of teachers, i.e. to create conditions for the acquisition of competencies by them neces-
sary for the accomplishment of the role of the navigator in the online educational envi-
ronment [4, 5]. Formations of a new generation of teachers capable to apply adaptive
digital technologies to maintenance trained with HIA and disability in the online envi-
ronment is the actual task today.
