	abstract = {The article analyses structural and intensity features identifying parents and pedagogues{\textquoteright} social attitudes towards education of disabled children. The performed research allows to assert that the structure of attitudes towards educability of disabled people contains the following components: recognition of personality and social value of a disabled person, recognition of their abilities, pedagogical pessimism, fatalism, humanistic pedagogics, segregation, inferiority of a disabled personality and their family, orientation to social {\textendash} every day education priorities, the underestimation of special education needs, archetypical fears of socializing with a disabled person, pedagogue{\textquoteright}s function as a family substitute. In fact, all these components integrate into two main educability construct dimensions, pedagogic pessimism and pedagogic optimism. Features of commonness and individuality identify parents and pedagogues{\textquoteright} social attitudes towards educability of mentally disabled people. Commonness lies in the educability model, its structure. Individuality means that parents{\textquoteright} social attitudes towards educability of their disabled children are oriented (with respect to attitude intensity) to a person, whilst pedagogues{\textquoteright} {\textendash} into education and integration process. The intensity of parents and pedagogues{\textquoteright} social attitudes changes depending on social {\textendash}demographic factors. The attitude{\textquoteright}s intensity (positive and negative evaluation range) to their disabled child{\textquoteright}s educability is conditioned mostly by parents{\textquoteright} psychological state. Professional motivation, age, professional activity place, the type of educational institution condition pedagogue attitude{\textquoteright}s intensity the most. },
