The state of implementing inclusive policy in Ukrainian higher education institutions is analyzed based on the research results of domestic and foreign authors. The organizational and educational principles of including students with special needs into the inclusive space of sigher education institutions are characterized, in particular the principles of universal design, reasonable accommodation, and individualization of learning trajectories. The possibilities and limitations of using digital technologies for implementing inclusive higher education are considered; digital tools for ensuring the accessibility of distance learning for various categories of students with special educational needs are systematized. The readiness of academic staff to work in an inclusive environment is analyzed, and the main barriers to implementing inclusion at the institutional level are identified. A systematization of the components of the inclusive educational space of higher education institutions regulatory, architectural-spatial, educational-methodological, digital-technological, socio-psychological, and personnel) is presented, and a model for ensuring academic equality in distance learning conditions is developed. A comparative analysis of inclusivity indicators of Ukrainian higher education institutions and European Union universities is conducted, which revealed the most critical gaps in the areas of digital accessibility of learning platforms and staffing of the inclusive process. Prospects for further research are outlined in the direction of developing standardized indicators for assessing the inclusivity of the educational environment of higher education institutions and creating methodological recommendations for academic staff on adapting distance learning to the needs of various categories of students.
