For the social integration of persons with disabilities, the acquisition of both general and higher education is important, which motivates the urgency of creating and ensuring equal conditions of access to higher education, including providing specially educated people with special educational needs with special education and rehabilitation support and creating for them free access to the infrastructure of higher education institutions taking into account limitation of life due to the state of health. Of particular importance is the introduction of new means of socio-psychological rehabilitation in the context of expanding the living space of students with disabilities through inclusive social and rehabilitation tourism. It has been determined that inclusive tourism is an effective micro-model of an integrated society (people with disabilities and their relatives, specialists, healthy people) who have been in real conditions, thus creating the optimal conditions for effective socialization of maladaptive people and their integration into society. The specific features and rehabilitation functions of tourism are highlighted, perspective ways of improving the socio-educational environment of higher educational institutions for socio-psychological integration of students with disabilities are characterized.
