The purpose of this study is to analyse and systematise the pedagogical tools that can be used for successful adaptation of orphans to higher education, which ensures equal opportunities for their education, personal development, integration into society and social and economic development, which contributes to social justice, overcoming inequalities, social and cultural integration and prevention of social problems. Children without parental care tend to be unfocused, forgetful, and may have difficulties in managing their emotions. Orphaned children who got used to receiving certain benefits from the state free of charge during their schooling often expect the same attitude in higher education. Emerging problems in psycho-emotional terms (aggression, nervousness, depression and frustration) require pedagogical tools to facilitate successful adaptation of orphans to higher education. It will help to remove barriers and create equal conditions for children's education, which plays an important role in the development of personality and self-realisation of each person. At the same time, orphans (like any other category of children) have potential and talents that can be unlocked through education. Pedagogical tools of adaptation help orphans to develop the skills and abilities that are necessary for successful learning and achieving their goals through the creation of a supportive and inclusive educational environment.

Key words: upbringing of orphans, the educational process at the university, pedagogical tools, tools for the adaptation of orphans
