The article discusses what resources of inclusive educational environment teenagers use for social adaptation. The authors present results of the empirical research carried out among a group of teenagers - participants of the inclusive education. It has been found, that teenagers with disabilities when facing challenges rely on the social resources, at the same time considering the social support of a family and classmates as insufficient. Despite the fact that the students with disabilities assess their being at school as emotionally secure, they do not think the school has resources for adaptation. The research results may be used for the development of programs of psychological and educational support of students in inclusive educational institutions.
