Abstract
This study explores the foreign experience of social adaptation of persons with disabilities, with a particular focus on the practices implemented in CIS countries and the United States. It examines how various nations have developed comprehensive approaches that encompass legislative frameworks, inclusive education, employment support, and the creation of accessible environments. Through comparative analysis, the study seeks to identify best practices that can be adapted to improve social adaptation strategies in the CIS region, emphasizing the importance of fostering an inclusive society that values the contributions of all its members. Ultimately, the findings aim to contribute to the development of effective policies and practices that ensure equal rights and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
