There are disabled people in every group of society all over the world, and their number continues to grow. The
reasons for this are different, since disabilities in different countries differ and are explained by different socioeconomic conditions and measures to ensure the well-being of their citizens by the state.
The level of development of this society and the state shows how much more careful and respectful the attitude of
society and the state is to the rights of disabled people. Disability has many characteristic features that have affected the

an obstacle to the development of the abilities of disabled people and lead to their isolation.

disabilities», raised issues of providing employment and employment of persons with disabilities, proposed legislative
amendments aimed at improving housing conditions and more.
