Abstract

Based on the materials of the scientific report presented at the section “Creative achievements of sign language workshops in the development of sign language policy and practice” of the All-Ukrainian scientific and practical conference “Special pedagogy and psychology at the current stage of development” of the Ukrainian Sign Language Department of the Mykola Yarmachenko Institute of Special Pedagogy and Psychology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, which took place in May of this year within the framework of the Science Festival.

The experimental activity of a special education institution in wartime conditions is especially important, as it presents the movement of innovative teachers in the implementation of acute problems related to the study of Ukrainian Sign Language.

In the context of experimental activity, a number of positive innovative technologies have been developed in recent years, which present special education institutions as a necessary, sought-after and irreplaceable potential of the educational sphere in the development of vital competencies of students with special educational needs.

The experimental activities of a special education institution in wartime conditions are significant, as they represent the movement of innovative teachers in addressing acute problems related to the study of Ukrainian Sign Language. The consensus of scientific thought and modern school practice is displayed in updated documents of the normative and legal framework, innovative manuals, methodological developments of the content of teaching Ukrainian Sign Language as a subject, and its use as a means of learning and communication.  Demanded and implemented pedagogy of cooperation between the scientific department of Ukrainian Sign Language and the educational institution meets the creative desires of teachers, enriches professional potential, and stimulates further collaboration. We see prospects for further research in the continued cooperation between the Ukrainian Sign Language Department of the Institute of Special Pedagogy and Psychology of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, and our institution.
