The practical experience of teaching the adaptive discipline (AD) "Social adaptation" for students with disability in the Institute of Business Administration of RANEPA is considered in the article. As an experimental group, students from the first year of the programms "International Relations" and "Foreign Regional Studies" were selected. The results of their training were compared on the criterial-level system with the results of training of students from the control group, who in the second year studied the discipline of the basic block "Psychology". Also, the study included the study of the impact of the implementation of adaptation disciplines on the psychophysical state of students with disability, which were trained in the experimental group, and conditionally healthy students. To study the psychophysical state, all students at the beginning and at the end of the educational process filled out the questionnaires "Health. Activity. Mood"and"Test of hardiness". The analysis of the results of the examination of the students' psychophysical state and the indicators of the generated knowledge, skills and habits according to the AD "Social adaptation" showed that the introduction of AD in the educational process of organizations of higher education is effective. This leads to an increase in the knowledge of students in the areas of special psychology and psychology of disability, and also affects the psychological attitudes and psychophysical state of students, increasing their mood, feeling, increasing vitality and responsibility for their lives.
