The government of Kazakhstan has committed to ensuring that children with disabilities have access to inclusive education and it has taken the important step of ratifying international human rights treaties enshrining the rights of people with disabilities, including the right of children with disab...ilities to inclusive, quality education. The government has also introduced legal and policy changes toward an inclusive education system for children with disabilities. It has committed to ensuring that 70 percent of mainstream schools are inclusive by 2019.
However, this report finds that progress towards genuine inclusive education is slow. In order for the government to succeed in ensuring that all children can access an inclusive, quality, and free primary and secondary education on an equal basis with others in the communities in which they live, it will need to fundamentally transform its policies and approach to education and address negative attitudes more broadly towards people with disabilities in Kazakhstan.

Расстройства, проявляющиеся в детском и подростковом возрасте дезорганизованным поведением, встречаются достаточно часто и связаны с серьезными нарушениями фу...кционирования как самих пациентов, так и их семей, а также с выраженной в разной степени недостаточной психологической адаптацией на более поздних стациях развития (Ford et al, 2003; Burke et al, 2005; Copeland et al, 2009; KimCohen et al, 2003; Costello et al, 2003).
