This article examines key issues in the training of special educators and specialists within the field of inclusive education. The education and support of children with special educational needs represent a pressing concern in pedagogical science. The research methods employed in this study include analysis of official and legislative documents, as well as a survey of students enrolled in the "Special Pedagogy" educational program at K.

The analysis revealed that the main challenges relate to aligning students' practical training with modern requirements, updating educational materials, incorporating new technologies and teaching methods, and addressing the demand for special education specialists in the labor market. The results of the study are important for the development of inclusive education and can be used to form strategies for training special educators.
