Abstract
Introduction. Difficulty in choosing of the direction of study for prospective students with disabilities is the one of the problems in the implementation of higher inclusive education. Difficulties in professional self-determination are due to both objective (low efficiency of information and educational work of educational institutions’ administrations) and subjective (inability of personal transformation to determine the most adequate professions) reasons.
Purpose setting. The research aims to determine the professions in demand for girls and boys with disabilities, give a factorial assessment of determining the prestige of selected professions, depending on gender preferences.
Methodology and methods of the study. The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of professional self-determination of 381st−2nd year with disabilities, taking into account gender and educational differences (school/college) before entering a university, obtained using the author’s questionnaire filled out in Google Forms.
Results. The obtained results revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0,05) in professional preferences of girls and boys. Post-college students made the most informed choices.
Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the need to adapt the information and career guidance of universities, taking into account the value demand of persons with special needs.
