The acceleration of the internationalization of education is a general trend in the development of higher education and a general requirement for universities, which is why countries and universities around the world compete annually for educational migration flows. In addition, the events of the past years (the pandemic, the transition to distance learning) have necessitated the search for new forms of interaction with students from abroad, resulting in increased interest in the educational potential of digital media in order to create an adaptive environment for international students. The identified problem allowed us to formulate the aim of the article, which is to determine the characteristics of social adaptation of foreign students in the context of digitalization. The works of domestic and foreign scientists on the issue of social adaptation of foreign students, including those related to transformations in the educational system caused by digitalization, served as the methodological basis of the research. The research is based on an integrative approach. Theoretical research methods were chosen as the leading methods: the study and analysis of pedagogical literature and policy documents; analysis, generalization and systematization of information from scientific sources, causal analysis. The article identifies factors that hinder the social adaptation of foreign students in the context of digitalization; suggests possible ways to eliminate them using remote means; identifies priority tasks of social adaptation of foreign students using remote means. The theoretical significance lies in determining the role of digital tools in organizing the adaptation processes for international students; identifying the potential of using remote means in the process of students' adaptation to the conditions of study at the university; determining the tasks of social adaptation of foreign students using remote means. The practical significance lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used as the basis for a process model of social adaptation of foreign students using remote means; applied by teaching staff, tutors, mentors in order to improve work with foreign students in the educational system of the university.

The article discusses the problem of social adaptation of primary school children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) caused by impairments in communication and social interaction. The purpose of the study was to study the psychological and pedagogical aspects of the formation of communication skills in this category of children and to identify effective methods and techniques that contribute to the development of communication skills and social adaptation. The study was conducted on the basis of a comprehensive school with the participation of 20 primary school students with ASD aged 7-10 years. To assess the level of communication skills development, the methods «Diagnostics of the development of communication with peers» (Orlova, Kholmogorova) and «Study of communication skills» (Uruntayeva, Afonkina) were used. Effective methods and techniques include social stories, role-playing games, visual support, and positive reinforcement. It is concluded that targeted and systematic work is needed to develop communication skills among younger students with ASD for their successful social adaptation and integration into society.
