The concept of correction is central in defectological science. The entire history of special (correctional) pedagogy can be represented as the history of the development of the theory and practice of correctional work. The correctional systems and concepts of Eduard Segep (1812-1880), Maria Montessori (1870 1!) D)2), OnpdaDecroly (1871-1933), L.S. Vygotsky (1896-1934), L.II. Graborova (1885-1949) and others.
Correction can be both direct and indirect. In this regard, it is customary to distinguish direct correction(direct use of special didactic materials and methods of influence) and indirect(the whole learning process has a corrective value, the main ways are to clarify and correct existing experience and form a new one).
Implementation of corrective action requires the use of various means. All means of correction conditionally can be divided into traditional(play, study, work, extracurricular activities, socially useful activities, regimen, treatment and preventive measures) and unconventional(alternative: sensory and psychomotor training, legoteka (lego-games of constructive content), aromatherapy, hippotherapy (from the Greek "ippo" - horse), art therapy, music therapy, etc.).
Most traditional remedies have a broad meaning and involve the correction of the personality as a whole. Alternative means, as a rule, are aimed at the development and correction of individual functions and are used in combination with other measures (T.V. Varsnova). The choice of means of correction involves reliance on the socially significant content of the material.
According to V.P. Kashchenko, the following provisions form the basis of pedagogical correction:
Organization of a kind of children's environment, involving
taking into account the "small world in which the child lives";
The effectiveness of the pedagogical tools that he owns
dagog;
Constant continuous study of the child;
Collaboration of various specialists (doctors, teachers,
psychologists).
The opinions of the authors are unanimous in understanding the importance of early correction in the formation and development of the personality of a child with special needs of psychophysical development: the sooner correctional work is started, the less difficulty it will have.
motor, speech and intellectual development. The early start of corrective work makes it possible to more effectively compensate for deviations in the mental development of a child at risk, thereby mitigating secondary deviations. Timely help and correction provide an exceptional opportunity!]) to “smooth out” shortcomings and problems in development, and in some cases even eliminate them, thereby ensuring a full life for the child.
As noted by V.G. Petrova, early detection of children with special needs of psychophysical development should first of all be carried out in families with an “increased” risk, which include families where there are already:
A child with developmental disabilities;
Family members (grandparents, uncles, aunts) with disabilities
development of any kind;
Children who have undergone intrauterine hypoxia, birth asphyxia
this, trauma, neuroinfection, etc.;
Parents who have been exposed to radiation
lived in an unfavorable ecological environment, worked in
hazardous conditions of the chemical industry;
Mothers who had an acute infection during pregnancy
onnoe disease, severe toxicosis, trauma;
One of the parents is a drug addict or suffers from alcoholism.
Early intervention includes:
The earliest possible detection and diagnosis of violations in
development;
Reducing the gap between the moment of detection of violations
in the development of the child and the beginning of targeted correction
noah help;
Mandatory inclusion of parents in the correctional process;
Corrective impact on all areas of child development and
creation of the necessary conditions for the development of his personality.
One of the forms of early correction is the system of pedagogical patronage of young children (from birth to 3 years), which has become widespread in many countries of the world (USA, 1970). By definition L.I. Aksenova, patronage: - this is a special kind of assistance to a child, his parents, teachers in solving complex problems related to survival, rehabilitation treatment, special training and education, socialization, with the formation of a growing person as a person.
A qualified teacher visits the family once a week, draws up a program of parental activities for
seven upcoming days, teaches them all the main actions (shows how to organize observations, record the results in special printed forms), monitors the implementation of the previously proposed work plan, provides didactic aids and educational toys from the game library, organized according to the principle of libraries.
Medical-social-pedagogical patronage (MSP-patronage) is becoming the leading form of organization of early correctional assistance to children with special needs of psychophysical development in our country as well. SME-natronage is implemented as a wide range of long-term rehabilitation assistance measures focused on the family of a child with OPFR. This assistance is carried out in the process of coordinated work of specialists of different profiles.
SME patronage includes: diagnostics, assistance in choosing an educational trajectory, designing individual correctional and rehabilitation programs, primary assistance in the implementation of plans.
Thus, correction can be viewed as a specially organized psychological and pedagogical influence, carried out in relation to high-risk groups and aimed at restructuring, reconstructing those unfavorable psychological neoplasms that are defined as psychological risk factors, at recreating the harmonious relationship of the child with the environment.
The essence of the compensation process (from Latin compensatio - compensation, balancing) is to compensate to some extent for impaired functions and conditions: the brain receives signals from damaged areas (kind of SOS signals), in response to which it mobilizes defense mechanisms, “reserves reliability of a living organism” and counteracts the pathological process (T.V. Varenova). When the optimal result is achieved, the mobilization of defense mechanisms stops.
Violation has a dual effect on the development of the child: on the one hand, it impedes the normal course of the body's activity, on the other hand, it serves to enhance the development of other functions that could compensate for the deficiency. This circumstance was emphasized by L.S. Vygotsky, saying: "The minus of a defect turns into a plus of compensation."
Compensatory mechanisms depend on the nature of the violation, the time and degree of damage to the function, a number of psychological
factors (awareness of the violation, setting for compensation, etc.), as well as the timeliness of the provision of qualified assistance. Without the ability of higher nervous activity (HNA) to mobilize their reserve capabilities, effective pedagogical work is difficult and the more effective is correctional and developmental work; activity, the more stable new conditioned connections are fixed in the central nervous system (CNS).
Compensation, as L.S. Vygotsky, maybe biological and social.
The existing compensatory processes are not absolute (sustainable) in nature, therefore, under adverse conditions (excessive loads, stress, illness, seasonal deterioration of the body, abrupt cessation of training sessions, etc.), they can disintegrate. In such cases, there is i decompensation, those. recurrence (repetition, return) of functional disorders. This phenomenon of the psyche must be taken into account in * pedagogical interaction. With the phenomena of decompensation, there are serious impairments of mental performance, a decrease in the rate of development, a change in attitudes towards activities, people.
The phenomenon of compensation should be distinguished from the phenomena of compensation. pseudo-compensation, those. imaginary, false adaptations, harmful formations resulting from a person’s reaction to a vehicle or other undesirable manifestations towards him from the people around him (causing the child’s behavior when it is impossible to attract attention to himself in other ways).
Correction and compensation are closely related to rehabilitation (recovery), which includes measures to ensure and (or) restore functions, compensate for their loss or absence, and remove functional restrictions. In UN documents, the term "rehabilitation" means "a process designed to help persons with disabilities achieve and maintain optimal physical, intellectual, mental and (or) social level of activity, thereby providing the means to change their lives and expand the scope of independence."
Basic principle work of all special educational institutions is corrective orientation learning.
In addition to the concepts considered, which form the basis of the categorical apparatus of the scientific field of defectology, the law “On the education of persons with special needs of psychophysical development (special
education)” defines a number of terms that are used in the designation of various phenomena. Among them:
special education - the process of training and education of persons
with features of psychophysical development, including special
social conditions for obtaining an appropriate education,
provision of corrective assistance, social adaptation and inter
the grace of these persons in society;
person with special needs of psychophysical development- face, name

homeschooling - organization of special education,
in which the development of the relevant training programs by a person with

carried out at home.
Thus, it becomes obvious that defectology has a specific categorical apparatus that reflects the main processes and phenomena of the scientific field.

Often they talk about the abilities of a person, implying his propensity for a certain type of activity. At the same time, few people think that this concept is scientific and implies the level of development of this quality, as well as the possibility of its improvement. Not everyone knows what levels of development of abilities exist, how to work on improving them and learn how to use them to the maximum. Meanwhile, it is not enough to have any ability, this quality must be constantly developed if you want to really succeed in a certain area.
ability level
According to the scientific definition, ability is an individual and psychological feature of a particular person, which determines his ability to carry out a specific activity. Congenital prerequisites for the emergence of certain abilities are inclinations that, unlike the first, are laid down in a person from birth. It should be borne in mind that abilities are a dynamic concept, which means their constant formation, development and manifestation in various fields of activity. The levels of development of abilities depend on many factors that should be taken into account for continuous self-improvement.
According to Rubinstein, their development takes place in a spiral, which means the need to realize the opportunities provided by one level of abilities in order for a further transition to a higher one to occur.
Ability types
The level of development of personality abilities is divided into two types:
Reproductive, when a person demonstrates the ability to successfully master various skills, acquire and apply knowledge, and also implement activities according to an already proposed model or idea;
Creative, when a person has the ability to create something new, original.
In the course of successful acquisition of knowledge and skills, a person moves from one level of development to another.
In addition, abilities are also divided into general and special, according to Teplov's theory. The general ones are those that are demonstrated in any field of activity, while the special ones are manifested in a specific area.
Ability Development Levels
The following levels of development of this quality are distinguished:
Ability;
giftedness;
Genius.
In order to form a person's giftedness, it is necessary that there be an organic combination of general and special abilities, and their dynamic development is also necessary.
Giftedness - the second level of ability development
Giftedness implies a set of various abilities that are developed at a sufficiently high level and provide an individual with the opportunity to successfully master any type of activity. In this case, the possibility of mastering is specifically implied, since a person, among other things, is required to directly master the necessary skills and abilities for the successful implementation of the idea.
Giftedness is of the following types:
Artistic, implying great achievements in artistic activity;
General - intellectual or academic, when the levels of development of a person's ability are manifested in good results in learning, mastering various knowledge in various scientific fields;
Creative, involving the ability to generate new ideas and demonstrate a penchant for invention;
Social, providing a high identification of leadership qualities, as well as the ability to build constructive relationships with people and the possession of organizational skills;
Practical, manifested in the ability of the individual to apply their own intellect to achieve their goals, knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of a person and the ability to use this knowledge.
In addition, there are types of giftedness in various narrow areas, for example, mathematical talent, literary, etc.
Talent - a high level of development of creative abilities
If a person who has a pronounced ability in a particular area of activity, constantly improves them, they say that he has a talent for it. It should be borne in mind that this quality is also not innate, despite the fact that many are accustomed to think so. When we talk about the levels of development of creative abilities, talent is a fairly high indicator of a person's ability to engage in a certain field of activity. However, do not forget that this is nothing more than pronounced abilities that need to be constantly developed, striving for self-improvement. No natural inclinations will lead to the recognition of talent without hard work on oneself. In this case, talent is formed from a certain combination of abilities.
None, even the highest level of development of the ability to do something, can be called a talent, since in order to achieve a result, it is necessary to have such factors as a flexible mind, strong will, great ability to work and a rich imagination.
Genius is the highest level of ability development
A person is called a genius if his activity has left a tangible mark on the development of society. Genius is the highest level of development of abilities that a few possess. This quality is inextricably linked with the originality of the individual. A distinctive quality of genius, unlike other levels of development of abilities, is that it, as a rule, shows its "profile". Any side in a brilliant personality inevitably dominates, which leads to a vivid manifestation of certain abilities.
Ability Diagnostics
The identification of abilities is still one of the most difficult tasks of psychology. At different times, many scientists put forward their own methods for studying this quality. However, at present there is no technique that allows you to identify a person’s ability with absolute accuracy, as well as determine its level.
The main problem was that abilities were measured quantitatively, the level of development of general abilities was deduced. However, in fact, they are a qualitative indicator that must be considered in dynamics. Different psychologists put forward their own methods for measuring this quality. For example, L. S. Vygotsky proposed to evaluate through the zone of proximal development. This suggested a double diagnosis, when the child solved the problem first together with an adult, and then on his own.
Other methods for diagnosing the level of development of abilities
Human abilities can manifest at any age. However, the sooner they are identified, the greater the likelihood of their successful development. That is why now in educational institutions from a very young age, work is required, during which the levels of development of abilities in children are revealed. Based on the results of work with schoolchildren, classes are conducted to develop the identified inclinations to a particular area. Such work cannot be limited only to the school, parents should also take an active part in the work in this direction.
The techniques most widely used for diagnosing abilities, both general and special:
- "The problem of Everier", designed to assess the purposefulness of thinking, that is, to what extent a person can concentrate on the task at hand.
- "Research of memory using the technique of memorizing ten words", aimed at identifying memory processes.
- "Verbal fantasy" - determining the level of development of creative abilities, primarily imagination.
- "Remember and dot" - diagnostics of the volume of attention.
- "Compasses" - the study of features
- "Anagrams" - the definition of combinatorial abilities.
- "Analytical mathematical abilities" - the identification of similar inclinations.
- "Abilities" - identifying the success of the performance of activities in a particular area.
- "Your creative age", aimed at diagnosing the correspondence of the passport age with the psychological one.
- "Your creativity" - diagnostics of creative possibilities.
The number of techniques and their exact list are determined based on the goals of the diagnostic examination. At the same time, the end result of the work is not revealing the ability of a person. The levels of development of abilities must constantly increase, which is why after the diagnosis, work must be carried out to improve certain qualities.
Conditions for increasing the level of development of abilities
One of the most important criteria for improving this quality is the conditions. The levels of development of abilities must constantly be in dynamics, moving from one stage to another. It is important for parents to provide their child with conditions for the realization of his identified inclinations. However, success depends almost entirely on a person's performance and focus on results.
The fact that a child initially has certain inclinations does not at all guarantee that they are transformed into abilities. As an example, consider a situation where a good prerequisite for the further development of musical abilities is the presence of a person's fine hearing. But the specific structure of the auditory and central nervous apparatus is only a prerequisite for the possible development of these abilities. A certain structure of the brain does not affect either the choice of the future profession of its owner, or the opportunities that will be provided to him for the development of his inclinations. In addition, due to the development of the auditory analyzer, it is possible that abstract-logical abilities will be formed, in addition to musical ones. This is due to the fact that the logic and speech of a person are in close connection with the work of the auditory analyzer.
Thus, if you have identified your levels of ability development, diagnosis, development and eventual success will depend only on you. In addition to the appropriate external conditions, you must be aware that only daily work will turn natural inclinations into skills that can develop into real talent in the future. And if your abilities are unusually bright, then perhaps the result of self-improvement will be the recognition of your genius.
1. Rehabilitation - the application of a whole range of measures of a medical, social, educational and professional nature with the aim of preparing or retraining an individual to the highest level of his functional abilities. Definition given by the World Health Organization. In Spanish-speaking and French-speaking countries, ter "min" readaptation is used.
Habilitation - the initial formation of a lost ability for something. The term happens to be capable of anything.
According to N.M., Nazarova, it is advisable to apply habilitation in relation to children of the early nose with developmental disabilities.
Creation of adequate conditions, taking into account the peculiarities of the mental development of the child with different variants and types of disorders, is possible on the basis of correction, compensation and socialization (EA Strebeleva).
Correction (from Latin - correction) - a system of psychological, pedagogical and therapeutic measures aimed at overcoming or weakening the shortcomings of psychophysical development and deviations in the behavior of children.
Compensation (from Latin - reimbursed, equalized) is a complex multi-level process, including the restoration and replacement of lost or impaired functions. Socialization (from lat. sosyu1k - public) - the formation of an individual's ability to live in society on the basis of the assimilation of its social values and ways of socially positive behavior.
Socialization gives the individual the opportunity to function as a full member of society. It is connected with the development of an adequate attitude towards social values. In the process of socialization, a person learns social norms, masters the ways of performing social roles, and the skills of social behavior.
4. Terms used in the field of special education (according to N.M. Nazarova):
special education - pre-school, general and vocational education, for the receipt of which special conditions are created for persons with disabilities;
person with disabilities - a person with physical disabilities that prevent the development of educational programs without creating special conditions for education;
person with special educational needs - a person who needs special pedagogical support and specific methods of education to overcome the limitations and difficulties caused by developmental disabilities;
handicap - a physical or mental handicap, confirmed by a psychological and pedagogical commission in relation to a child and a medical and social expert commission in relation to an adult;
Physical disability - a temporary or permanent deficiency in the development and (or) functioning of a human organ, or a chronic somatic or infectious disease, confirmed in the prescribed manner;
mental deficiency - a temporary or permanent deficiency in the mental development of a person, confirmed in the prescribed manner, including impaired speech, emotional and volitional spheres, including autism, the consequences of brain damage, including mental retardation, mental retardation that creates learning difficulties;
complex handicap - a set of physical and (or) psychological handicaps;
severe disability - a physical or mental disability, expressed to such an extent that education in accordance with state educational standards (including special ones) is inaccessible and learning opportunities are limited to obtaining basic knowledge and skills:
special conditions for obtaining education (special educational conditions) - conditions for learning (upbringing), including special educational programs and teaching methods, individual technical training aids and living environment, as well as pedagogical, medical, social and other services, without which it is impossible (difficulty) mastering educational programs by persons with disabilities;
special (correctional) educational institution - an educational institution for persons with disabilities.
Conceptual ideas of the adaptive school
Without the definition, understanding and rethinking of conceptual ideas, today it is almost impossible to reasonably design the educational process at school and manage it. Conceptual ideas make it possible to correlate the strategic tasks set by the school and the real state of student activity.

The history of the formation and development of special education in Belarus has its own characteristics. Researcher
historical roots and foundations for the formation and development of the system of special education I.M. Bobla notes that:
specially organized state charity de
children with peculiarities of psychophysical development in the pre-revolutionary
Noah Belarus did not exist;
decisive role in substantiating the need and
The importance of educating children with OPFR was played by the contacts of Belarusian
Dagogov with Ya.A. Comenius, activities of professors Vilensky
University (J. Snyadetsky and others), the views of Russian enlighten
lei (A. Radishcheva and others) and the practice of defectologists in Russia;
special institutions for deaf-mutes, stutterers and
blind children were discovered in the late XIX - early XX century. (Minsk,
Vitebsk, Gomel).
Among the first speech pathologists were deaf and speech therapists M.Ya. Nisnevich, SO. Okun (Minsk School for Deaf and Dumb and Stuttering Children - 1888), I.O. Vasyutovich (Vitebsk School of the Deaf and Dumb - 1896), P.P. Sliozger (individual education for the deaf and dumb in Gomel - 1902, school for the deaf and dumb in Minsk - 1908). Typhlopedagogical practice was carried out by I.U. Zdanovich, I.V. Georgievsky, K.S. Boltuts (Minsk School for Blind Boys - 1897). There were no schools for children with intellectual disabilities before the revolution in Belarus.
The materials of the 1897 census indicate that over 7,000 abnormal children lived in Belarus.
In 1920, schools for deaf-mute and mentally retarded children were established in Vitebsk, orphanages for mentally retarded children in Gomel and Mogilev, and in 1921 an orphanage for mentally retarded children was opened in Minsk.
The formation of a system of special education in Belarus required the training of defectologists. The leading forms of training and retraining of personnel were courses offered on the basis of the best specialized institutions, and distance learning for teachers of the republic at defectological faculties of Myuou Russia.
According to I.M. Bobly, in the 1940/41 academic year, 32 special schools worked in Belarus: 18 - for children with disabilities
ha, 10 - for mentally retarded children, 3 - for the blind, 1 - for children with hearing and speech disorders. About 3,000 pupils studied and over 300 teachers worked there.
Immediately after the liberation of the territory of Belarus from the fascist invaders, the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the BSSR dated October 09, 1944 No. 659 determined a network of schools for deaf and dumb children: 11 schools for 1,400 students. By March 1945, there were 5 schools for the deaf and dumb in the republic (Mstislavl, Bobruisk, Gomel, Oshmyany, Novogrudok) and a school for the blind (the village of Porechie, Grodno region). In the autumn of 1945, a republican school for children with hearing and speech disorders was opened in Kobrin (Brest region), and in 1949 the first auxiliary school in Vitebsk was completed.
In the 60s, new types of schools appeared for Belarus: for the hard of hearing and late deaf (1961), for the visually impaired (1963), for children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system (1964), for children with severe speech disorders (1966).
The training of professional specialists for the system of special education in Belarus began in 1960, when at the Minsk Pedagogical Institute. A.M. Gorky, a defectology department was opened, which in 1976 was transformed into a defectology faculty (now the faculty of special education).
The 1980s are characterized by a significant expansion of the network of educational institutions for various categories of children with OPFR: in 1980, schools for children with mental retardation were opened, the number of speech therapy centers at secondary schools and clinics, hospitals at audiology rooms and clinics increased, with Republican Center for Pathology of Hearing, Voice and Speech.
Today in the Republic of Belarus, the problems of educating and educating children with special needs of psychophysical development are of a state nature, the rights of these persons are protected by the law “For the rights of children” (1992) and the law “On the education of persons with special needs of psychophysical development (special education)” (2004) .
1.1.3. Sociocultural foundations of defectology
In the history of the development of human civilization, the attitude of society towards people with special needs of psychophysical development has developed in the form of social “shelves” or “niches” that are assigned to them.
were diluted, and manifested itself in the manner in which they were treated. Let's name some of these "niches" or models.
"A sick man"(essence: persons with special needs of psychophysical development - sick people considered as an object of treatment). It should be remembered that educational programs for such people should include not only and not so much care and treatment, but education and development. This model stimulated the development of scientific research in the field of clinical study of the causes and consequences of impaired development and possible methods for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, the consequence of which is a limitation of human capabilities. In modern conditions, this model is insufficient, since in itself it is a limiter on the capabilities of a person with special needs of psychophysical development.
"Subhuman"(essence: a person with peculiarities of psychophysical development is considered as an inferior being, approaching in its level to an animal). The model underlay the application of inhumane treatment to such persons.
"A Threat to Society"(essence: some categories of persons with special needs of psychophysical development pose a threat to society). The model was based on the opinion that these people can “spell damage”, “call misfortune”, inflict material and moral damage. Society protected itself from this potential "threat" by creating boarding schools, closed institutions of charity, often in remote places, sometimes with a strict regime of detention in them. Training was either absent or insufficient.
"Object of Pity"(essence: a person with special needs is treated like a small child who does not grow up, remaining in childhood forever). The main task of the model is only to protect a person with OPFR from the "bad" world around him by isolating him from society, creating a comfortable living environment, and not providing assistance in education and development.
"An object of onerous charity"(the essence of the model is that spending on the maintenance of persons with various disabilities is considered as an economic burden, which they try to reduce by reducing the amount of assistance provided).
"Development"(essence: society is responsible for more than half of the development of a child with OPFR). The model highlights the presence of
persons with peculiarities of psychophysical development of abilities for education and development. Society is charged with creating conditions favorable for the development and correctional and pedagogical assistance to such children: a person with special needs for psychophysical development has the same rights and privileges as all other members of society (the right to live, study, work in their area, live in house, choose friends and be friends with them, the right 6i.li I. a desirable member of society, the right to be like" her).
The formation and development of defectological science was based on various sociocultural ideas and concepts, determining the attitude of society towards persons with special needs of psychophysical development (Table 1.1).
Table 1.1
Sociocultural ideas and concepts
Concept | Essence |
The concept of social rehabilitation of a person with special needs of psychophysical development (late XIX - early XX century) | The idea of the social usefulness of man; the idea of the value of special education (initiation to work by correcting and compensating for a defect) |
Idea of racial biology (racial hygiene) | The futility of supporting people with special needs, sterilization and physical destruction of "inferior" people |
paternalistic concept | The priority of the interests of society over the interests of the individual; "High quality" and small size of people with special needs of psychophysical development; organization of training in individual educational institutions; weak social and professional protection of the disabled; the formation of dependent attitudes in people with limited ability to work |
The modern concept of social rehabilitation of persons with OPFR | The priority of the interests of the individual over the interests of society; independent lifestyle personality |
At the present stage, the leading directions new coupledigmas defectology are:
humanization- the purpose of special education is to make the life of a person with special needs of psychophysical development full and worthy (inclusion in social relations, support for the formation of individuality, etc.);
fundamentalization - philosophical-categorical analysis,
rethinking and clarification of common parameters and norm differences
and pathology;
integration- forms of joint education and upbringing
children with special needs of psychophysical development with their healthy
peers.
Thus, we can conclude that the historical, cultural and economic determinism of the socio-cultural foundations of defectology. The current stage in the development of defectological science is closely related to the processes of integration of persons with OPFR into society.

The concept of correction is central in defectological science. The entire history of special (correctional) pedagogy can be represented as the history of the development of the theory and practice of correctional work. The correctional systems and concepts of Eduard Segep (1812-1880), Maria Montessori (1870 1!) D)2), OnpdaDecroly (1871-1933), L.S. Vygotsky (1896-1934), L.II. Graborova (1885-1949) and others.
Correction can be both direct and indirect. In this regard, it is customary to distinguish direct correctiontion(direct use of special didactic materials and methods of influence) and indirect(the whole learning process has a corrective value, the main ways are to clarify and correct existing experience and form a new one).
Implementation of corrective action requires the use of various means. All means of correction conditionally can be divided into traditional(play, study, work, extracurricular activities, socially useful activities, regimen, treatment and preventive measures) and unconventional(alternative: sensory and psychomotor training, legoteka (lego-games of constructive content), aromatherapy, hippotherapy (from the Greek "ippo" - horse), art therapy, music therapy, etc.).
Most traditional remedies have a broad meaning and involve the correction of the personality as a whole. Alternative means, as a rule, are aimed at the development and correction of individual functions and are used in combination with other measures (T.V. Varsnova). The choice of means of correction involves reliance on the socially significant content of the material.
According to V.P. Kashchenko, the following provisions form the basis of pedagogical correction:
organization of a kind of children's environment, involving
taking into account the "small world in which the child lives";
the effectiveness of the pedagogical tools that he owns
dagog;
constant continuous study of the child;
collaborative work of various specialists (doctors, teachers,
psychologists).
motor, speech and intellectual development. The early start of corrective work makes it possible to more effectively compensate for deviations in the mental development of a child at risk, thereby mitigating secondary deviations. Timely assistance and correction provide an exceptional opportunity!]) to “smooth out” shortcomings and problems in development, and in some cases even eliminate them, thereby ensuring a full life for the child.
As noted by V.G. Petrova, early detection of children with special needs of psychophysical development should first of all be carried out in families with an “increased” risk, which include families where there are already:
a child with developmental disabilities;
family members (grandparents, uncles, aunts) with disabilities
children who have undergone intrauterine hypoxia, birth asphyxia
this, trauma, neuroinfection, etc.;
parents who were exposed to radiation,
lived in an unfavorable ecological environment, worked in
hazardous conditions of the chemical industry;
mothers who had an acute infection during pregnancy
onnoe disease, severe toxicosis, trauma;
one of the parents is a drug addict or suffers from alcoholism.
Early intervention includes:
the earliest possible detection and diagnosis of violations in
reduction of the gap between the moment of detection of violations
in the development of the child and the beginning of targeted correction
noah help;
mandatory inclusion of parents in the correctional process;
corrective impact on all spheres of child development and
creation of the necessary conditions for the development of his personality.
A qualified teacher visits the family once a week, draws up a program of parental activities for
seven upcoming days, teaches them all the main actions (shows how to organize observations, record the results in special printed forms), monitors the implementation of the previously proposed work plan, provides didactic aids and educational toys from the game libraryorganized according to the principle of libraries.
Medical-social-pedagogical patronage (MSP-patronage) is becoming the leading form of organization of early correctional assistance to children with special needs of psychophysical development in our country as well. SME-natronage is implemented as a wide range of long-term rehabilitation assistance measures focused on the family of a child with OPFR. This assistance is carried out in the process of coordinated work of specialists of different profiles.
SME patronage includes: diagnostics, assistance in choosing an educational trajectory, designing individual correctional and rehabilitation programs, primary assistance in the implementation of plans.
Thus, correction can be viewed as a specially organized psychological and pedagogical influence, carried out in relation to high-risk groups and aimed at restructuring, reconstructing those unfavorable psychological neoplasms that are defined as psychological risk factors, at recreating the harmonious relationship of the child with the environment.
The essence of the compensation process (from Latin compensatio - compensation, balancing) is to compensate to some extent for impaired functions and conditions: the brain receives signals from damaged areas (kind of SOS signals), in response to which it mobilizes defense mechanisms, “reserves reliability of a living organism” and counteracts the pathological process (T.V. Varenova). When the optimal result is achieved, the mobilization of defense mechanisms stops.
Violation has a dual effect on the development of the child: on the one hand, it impedes the normal course of the body's activity, on the other hand, it serves to enhance the development of other functions that could compensate for the deficiency. This circumstance was emphasized by L.S. Vygotsky, saying: "The minus of a defect turns into a plus of compensation."
Compensatory mechanisms depend on the nature of the violation, the time and degree of damage to the function, a number of psychological
factors (awareness of the violation, setting for compensation, etc.), as well as the timeliness of the provision of qualified assistance. Without the ability of higher nervous activity (HNA) to mobilize their reserve capabilities, effective pedagogical work is difficult and the more effective is correctional and developmental work; activity, the more stable new conditioned connections are fixed in the central nervous system (CNS).
Compensation, as L.S. Vygotsky, maybe biological and social.
The existing compensatory processes are not absolute (sustainable) in nature, therefore, under adverse conditions (excessive loads, stress, illness, seasonal deterioration of the body, abrupt cessation of training sessions, etc.), they can disintegrate. In such cases, there is idecompensation, those. recurrence (repetition, return) of functional disorders. This phenomenon of the psyche must be taken into account in * pedagogical interaction. With the phenomena of decompensation, there are serious impairments of mental performance, a decrease in the rate of development, a change in attitudes towards activities, people.
The phenomenon of compensation should be distinguished from the phenomena of compensation. pseudocom pensions those. imaginary, false adaptations, harmful formations resulting from a person’s reaction to a vehicle or other undesirable manifestations towards him from the people around him (causing the child’s behavior when it is impossible to attract attention to himself in other ways).
Correction and compensation are closely related to rehabilitation (recovery), which includes measures to ensure and (or) restore functions, compensate for their loss or absence, and remove functional restrictions. In UN documents, the term "rehabilitation" means "a process designed to help persons with disabilities achieve and maintain optimal physical, intellectual, mental and (or) social level of activity, thereby providing the means to change their lives and expand the scope of independence."
