Introduction. This article examines the socio-psychological factors contributing to the formation of risk prone behavior in adolescent students with disabilities (hereinafter referred to as SWD). The relevance of the study is determined by the need to address the challenges of preventing adolescents’ involvement in risk behavior, which include various forms of addictive behavior, self‑injurious behavior, extreme behavior, eating disorders, as well as participation in destructive groups and associations. Methods. The main diagnostic tool used was the Unified Socio‑Psychological Testing methodology for normatively developing students and children with SWD (Form A for grades 7-9 of high schools). Objective. The aim of this study is to identify the specific patterns of socio‑psychological characteristics associated with risk prone behavior in male and female adolescents with different types of disabilities. Results. The findings demonstrate the influence of gender and specific health limitations on the formation of risk prone behavior. Female adolescents with SWD show higher scores on the scales “Poor adaptability, dependency”, “Impulsivity”, and “Anxiety”. Comparison of the data using the normative indicators for students with SWD and for those with typical development revealed that adolescents with SWD have more developed protective factors: acceptance by parents and classmates, social activity, and self‑regulation of behavior. Conclusion. The characteristics described in the study can serve as a basis for organising targeted preventive work with minors with disabilities.
