Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive historical-legal and comparative-legal analysis of the transformation of the State policy of the Russian Federation aimed at protecting the rights of children with disabilities. The study demonstrates that the enhanced vulnerability of minors with disabilities results from limited functional capacities, dependence on institutional systems of care, and increased risks of discrimination and social exclusion. The relevance of the research is determined by the need for a doctrinal reassessment of the legal framework governing juvenile disability in the context of the ongoing constitutional modernization of social policy. The scientific novelty of the study is manifested in three key results: 1) an original periodization of the evolution of legislation on the rights of minors with disabilities has been developed on the basis of explicit legal and institutional criteria; 2) substantive transformations of the legal status of children with disabilities at each historical stage have been identified – from the charity-based guardianship paradigm and the medical model of disability to the contemporary inclusive model premised on the principles of habilitation, accessibility and equal opportunities; 3) the legal concept of “juvenile disability” has been formulated and substantiated as a specific socio-legal status requiring differentiated State protection. The findings contribute to the improvement of national legislation and the development of a coherent State strategy for the inclusive development and legal empowerment of children with disabilities in the Russian Federation.
