Abstract

This article examines the professional competencies required of a modern special educator, their significance within the inclusive education system, and their impact on the effectiveness of pedagogical practice. The study analyzes the content and importance of communicative, psychological, corrective-pedagogical, innovative, and digital competencies essential for professional activities in special education. Furthermore, the importance of an individualized approach, empathy, stress resilience, and multidisciplinary collaboration in working with children with special educational needs is scientifically substantiated. The findings indicate that the successful implementation of inclusive education largely depends on the professional competence, innovative thinking, and continuous self-development of special educators.
