Objective of the study was to substantiate optimal pedagogical decisions to improve the physical education process for students with health disorders.
Methods and structure of the study. As part of the study, we conducted a system analysis of special literature, analyzed the results of case monitoring and pedagogical observations, and pooled the data from medical examinations and sociological and psychological surveys, which enabled to assemble a full picture of the subject matter. The study has been conducted since 1991. It involves the Ural Federal University students of all departments, who were attributed to the special health group based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF-10).
Results and conclusions. A specially organized learning environment focused on individual development paths was created. The combination of various forms of educational and cognitive activity, mutual assistance and cooperation with the administration of the university led to the optimization of the vocational training of students with health disorders and disabilities.
A sociometric technique was used to form the study groups taking into account the peculiarities and nature of their impact on personality development. A high level of communication was achieved in the student-teacher relationships and within the group itself. New methods and styles of pedagogical communication, which enabled students to successfully realize their potential, were introduced. The results of the independent testing of the 2017/18 academic year showed great academic progress of the special health group students (82% - excellent, 15% - good, 3% - satisfactory).

Keywords: special health group students, optimization of educational process.
