It was confi rmed that journalists can foster the inclusion of representatives of this social group, fi rst of all, by regularly telling about events with their participation, in order to make people with disabilities feel like full-fledged members of the society. A number of recommendations were also given on the basis of the results of the study and the opinion of an authoritative expert.
