The paper discusses the issues of accessability of education for children with health limitations as one of the stages of Russian education modernization, and further integration of such people into the society. One of the main problems is teachers' training to implementation of inclusive education in Sverdlovsk Region. Ural State Pedagogical University teaches future specialists in the sphere of inclusive education on different levels: Bachelor's Degree programs, Master's Degree programs, further professional education (professional retraining and advanced training). The paper analyzes typical difficulties that educational establishments and teachers face when they implement Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for pupils with health limitations and Federal State Educational Standard of General Education for pupils with mental retardation (intellectual disability). The result of the survey held in 20 educational establishemnts of Sverdlovsk Region revealed some problems appearing in inclusive education implementation. It is necessary to form adequate interpretation and understanding of inclusive education.
