The paper deals with the issues of psychological and pedagogical support of the academic staff working with students with disabilities in the context of inclusive education. The relevance of the research is due to the difficulties in implementing the inclusive approach in Russian higher schools and need to train academic staff in working with students with special needs. Interviewing and rating academic staff members, (120 persons,) have revealed difficulties (philosophic-worldview, project-technological, and psychological-pedagogic) they face when teaching students with disabilities. The resource of further education can be used to overcome the revealed obstacles. Based on the example of teaching according to a specially designed program for further training, it has been shown that it helps to form relevant competencies and preparedness to work with students with disabilities. The paper may be useful for higher school managers and academic staff and teachers in intermediate vocational education establishments who work in a climate of inclusion as well as for specialists engaged in supplementary professional education.
