Empirical study has introduced a model of retraining through a socio-political and educational description of the current situation in Kryvyi Rih. That is why 124 key stakeholders from 20 schools with inclusive education were tested to plan the implementation model of supervision (teachers, tutors, staff, psychologists and parents from 7 districts of Kryvyi Rih were invited to participate).

The supervision consists of four stages: case report, exchange, conceptualization, summary. For successful work, we propose in the article an adaptation of an unstructured interview by a specialist who describes the situation of training supervision.
