Description
Summary:The psychological and pedagogical role of playing activities is defined in the article. The game involves the formation of children’s social experience, moral attitudes, and moral consciousness. Through the game, the child is concerned with the ideas that society has in common. The psychological features of children with autism are determined. Children with autism are non-contact, they manifest violations of all forms of pre-verbal (expressive-mimic, subjectaction) and verbal communication. The violation of the process of communication with autism is manifested mainly in two varieties, such as communicative deficit (hypocommunication with low interest in the environment, slowing down the establishment of verbal and nonverbal contacts, the lack of desire to express their wishes by vocalization, look, mimicry or gesture), or conversely, communicative exaltation (excessive hyperemotionality in contacts, conflictness, breakdown). Attention is drawn to the fact that effective diagnosis, with the use of types of psycho-corrective assistance, will facilitate the successful interaction of children of junior school age with their peers.
