Abstract:
A new correctional-developing technology of pre-school education was developed and tested for children 2—7 years old with Down syndrome in inclusion conditions. Such technique involves coordinated development of cognitive and game child activity, and subsequent transfer of acquired knowledge and skills into practical life. It means being implemented in individual and group activities and some jobs for parents. Here, it was proposed the diagnostic tools assessing the level and dynamics of cognitive child activity, the definition of the proximal development zone, the choice of assignments. The effectiveness of training was significantly confirmed for all age groups at pre-school level of education.
