TYPHLO COMMENTARY: I'm average height. I have gray hair and a beard. The beard can be longer or shorter depending on my mood. I have blue eyes and I wear glasses. At formal events I wear a suit, and most often I choose blue shirts. But I like casual style more

Inclusion burst into our life unexpectedly. We turned out to be not ready either psychologically, instrumentally, organizationally or methodologically. And this inevitability led to a stalemate, to even more sophisticated forms of segregation. Humanistic challenges seemed like slogans and only showed contradictions, asserting the hopelessness of inferno.
Everything changed after the extrability philosophy has appeared. Hidden talents are developed in the process of properly organized inclusive interaction, and this fascinates psychologists, as it helps to build strategies for changing the fate not only for people with disabilities, but also for overcoming addiction, for people who find themselves in a difficult life situation, for those who find themselves among socially excluded. This approach opens new horizons in pedagogy, when we not only declare, but also show individuality and think about a unique educational path for each student. This philosophy also poses a challenge for computer science, as it allows creating artificial intelligence algorithms for new ecosystems for the development of human creativity. From now on, every children's organization, school, organization or company becomes a platform for the employees' talents inclusion, using new models of engagement.
