Sustainable development is possible only if we take into account human potential as a fundamental value of society, as well as creating conditions and providing opportunities for its full development. People with disabilities constitute an important component of human potential, and understanding this is a key principle of social inclusion. Full participation implies that a person with a disability is a full-fledged subject of socio-political, socio-economic and socio-cultural processes. Access should be provided at the state and local levels. It should include access to education, health care, cultural institutions, etc. Taking this into account, the issue of training specialists in providing physical support services for people with disabilities in Ukraine is relevant. A number of research methods are used in this work. We have analyzed current Ukrainian legislation on social protection of people with disabilities. In the context of minimizing natural and environmental barriers in the lives of people with disabilities, the approval of the professional standard «Companion of People with Disabilities» deserves attention. According to the National Classifier DK 003: 2010 «Classifier of professions» a new profession «5133 Companion of people with disabilities» has been introduced. Based on the analysis of concepts definition in various spheres of human life, we may determine accompanying both as creating various conditions and as purposeful implementation of special measures within the provision of services - educational, social, medical, etc., which provides assistance and help to qualified professionals for a long time in order to solve difficult life situation. Physical accompanying for people with disabilities is defined as a social service for the category of citizens with musculoskeletal disorders, visual impairments, other nosologies to eliminate restrictions on life and inclusion in the community. Its content is to accompany people with disabilities from residence to destination, as well as to inform and provide household and psychological assistance. Thus, the introduction of the standard of the profession «Companion of People with Disabilities» and specialists training with the same qualification is a significant step towards ensuring access to public values of all categories of citizens, including those with disabilities.References
