Abstract: The socialization of disabled children is aggravated by their life conditions and obligatory limitations of social experience. The pedagogical technology of the social theater enables to intensify social adaptation of disabled children. Acting on behalf of a character who possesses particular social and psychological features, developing relationships with the character, comprehending cause-effect connections in his behavior and changing roles freely, a disabled child not only has an opportunity to enrich the scope of emotions and social experience but also to establish dialogic relations with culture, society and, eventually, with oneself.
