Abstract

The socialization of persons with mental disabilities and the creation of an inclusive living space through their acceptance into society is an urgent topic in the modern socio-economic, political, cultural development plan of the country. Most often, due to ignorance of the characteristics of people with mental disorders, an erroneous public opinion is formed about the lack of an opportunity for this category of people to lead a normal full life. In fact, people with mental disorders, if they wish, can not only manage their own household, solve household issues, but also help other people. This article discusses the implementation at the Ryazan State Medical University of the adapted additional general development program “Care in the provision of social services to the elderly, including those with disabilities” for young people with mental disabilities, and also describes the methods, stages and results of the program. After completing the training, persons with mental disabilities became more independent, responsible, acquired social and household skills in the field of caring for citizens in need (relatives), including those with disabilities, and constructive interaction skills. Ten students who successfully mastered the additional general education program received certificates of mastering the program.
