Chuprakova. [The use of gaming technologies in correctional and developmental work with preschool children with autism-like behavior]

Abstract:
[The most important condition for the development of emotional sphere in children with complex adaptive mechanism and originality of psycho-emotional development, is the organization of their lives and the psycho-corrective work with them. In a game situation, created by a specialist, such children acquire social and communication skills and correspond to socially approved behavior patterns. The author`s psycho-correctional game program solves this problem and ensures the preparation of children for successful social adaptation, activates their hidden abilities. In the proposed cycle of game lessons, the exercises are arranged systematically and in a certain sequence. The organizational principle is “repetition with overlay”, when familiar learned games are not just repeated in subsequent lessons, but each subsequent lesson is built on the material of the previous one and a new game element is added. So, children with autism-like behavior get the opportunity to start each lesson on the usual familiar material, which, of course, removes some barriers to contact with them, increases confidence in the leader, in the participants, in the place of stay and increases the effectiveness of each lesson.]
