The research conducted by the Department of Special Pedagogy is determined by the social order for scientific, theoretical and methodological support of the learning process of children with disabilities.

A special place in the scientific research of the Department of Special Pedagogy is occupied by the issue of teaching children with disabilities in the Kazakh language. In Kazakhstan, in recent years, there has been an active process of reforming preschool and school education in line with the ethno-cultural orientation of teaching children with disabilities, the formation and development of personal characteristics of children on the basis of Kazakh ethnopedagogy and ethnopsychology. In this case, the Department of Special Pedagogy of Abai KazNPU initiated the scientific and methodological substantiation of the content of special education, built on a bilingual and bicultural basis.

The teaching staff of the department continues to work on the development of educational and methodological support for the process of teaching children with disabilities in the Kazakh language in special (correctional) schools. Such works are of particular importance in the socialization of Kazakh children with any developmental disabilities, their national identification. The department also develops training programs, textbooks and teaching materials for preschool and school special education organizations with Russian and Kazakh languages of instruction.

Strengthening the integrative processes of the special education system and pedagogical universities will become one of the promising innovative resources for improving the quality of education of children with disabilities, reflecting its synergetic effect. The inclusion of technology for monitoring the personnel of the special education system, based on the automated management of a complex of databases on the needs of the regions for specialists, the number of graduates of pedagogical universities, as mandatory, will help optimize the development strategies of a unified educational space for children with disabilities.
