In accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, students need to be raised as successful, creative, independent people, ready to effectively interact with people around them when solving various problems and life situations [1]. Achieving this goal is complicated when we deal with younger students with disabilities. Statistics show that the number of children with disabilities is growing every year [3]. Our experience working in inclusive classes has allowed us to come to the conclusion that activity-based learning technologies contribute to the development of initiative, independence, and creativity in students with disabilities. Subject to a number of pedagogical conditions, activity-based learning technologies have made it possible to develop fourth-grade students' readiness for successful project-based research activities, as well as productive communication, interaction, and cooperation skills in a relatively short period of time (within a year).
