The ideas of humanisation of education outline a system of child-centredness, which is dominated by a focus on the interests of the child and meeting his or her needs. The priority task of special education institutions (SEI) is to prepare a person with special educational needs (SEN) for a full-fledged life in society and productive interaction with the social environment. Competent skills to interact, build and maintain friendships, cooperate and coexist in an accessible language environment are important and necessary components of the full-fledged social functioning of a child with SEN, a guarantee of his or her personal well-being. The role of psychological service (PS) specialists in these processes is in demand.
