Reason of the conducted study. The article presents a generalized view of the problem of applying uniform requirements to the organization of education and upbringing of preschoolers with developmental disabilities. The authors draw attention to the wide differentiation of special educational needs within the category of “children of early and preschool age with disabilities”, associated with the psychophysical characteristics and the social situation of each child's development.

Methods. The article attempts to illustrate the specifics of the structural content of the federal adapted educational program for preschool education (FAOP DO) and the conditions for its implementation. The methodological foundations for the development of targeted adapted education and training programs, as well as targets reflecting the desired results of the personal development of different nosological groups of children, are considered.

Research progress. The authors analyze typical professional difficulties and requests of specialists involved in the development of training and upbringing programs for children with disabilities based on many years of research, including on the topic “Clinical, psychological and pedagogical research of a modern child with disabilities and disabilities”. More than 800 specialists from 51 subjects of the Russian Federation took part in this study.

Results. Various methodological approaches to the development of Federal Adapted Educational Program are systematized. The dynamics of mastering the list of possible results, which is determined by the quality and consistency in the organization of special educational conditions, is discussed.

Conclusions. As recommendations, it is proposed to pay attention to the content and forms of implementation of additional professional educational programs of pedagogical and non-pedagogical workers of a single multidisciplinary team. For the first time, the analysis of the variable structure of the Federal Adapted Educational Program was carried out on the basis of the general principles of including different nosological groups of preschool children in the educational environment.

The relevance of the subject of the article. The article is devoted to the communication of children with speech disorders in an inclusive kindergarten. Staying in the environment of healthy children has a positive effect on socialization and the formation of communication skills in preschoolers with disabilities. But meanwhile, there may be a contradiction between the social conditions of preschool inclusion and the real opportunities for communication in some children. These contradictions affect children with speech disorders. These children, due to speech pathology, are not capable of full communication. Therefore, the problem of communication and socialization in preschoolers with speech disorders should be solved.

Description of the research progress. Studies on age periodization, according to which communication develops between preschoolers who do not have speech pathologies, are analyzed. The author of the article refers to the brain organization of speech and shows its systemic nature from the point of view of the participation of different brain areas. As a theoretical basis, two classifications of speech disorders are given in the article, with the help of which speech pathologies in childhood are studied; in the future, in accordance with this classification, according to the form of speech pathology, work is carried out to eliminate speech defects. The article has an interdisciplinary character and integrates psychology, pedagogy and speech therapy.

Research results. The work on speech correction begins with the diagnostic stage. Diagnostic examination, which establishes the state of active and passive speech in a child, is based on the position on the systemic structure of speech functions. The article shows that speech has a systemic structure – from elementary to the most complex forms. Speech therapy classes have different aims and structure, depending on the correctional focus on a particular speech defect. In addition to speech therapy classes, recommendations are given on the development of etiquette speech and on the formation of communication skills within the framework of a role-playing game and theatricalization.

Conclusion. Working in a kindergarten to restore speech reduces the “risk zone” for socialization. With sufficient communication, children acquire the possibility of full inclusion in the peer environment.

The article is of a theoretical pattern and summarizes the scientific statements and research of recent studies. The theoretical provisions and the program document, which substantiate the content and guide of the development of special preschool education are presented.

The relevance of the article consists in the analysis of modern preschool education for children with cerebral palsy. The article describes the mental and physical characteristics of children with cerebral palsy of preschool age, which indicate special educational needs and the need for special correctional and developmental work. The provisions on the psychodiagnostics of children with cerebral palsy are given; the principles for drawing up an individual educational route are shown. On the basis of materials of Russian studies and recommendations, the variants of educational programs that are prescribed for children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system of various severity are presented. The article also contains material on the international experience for organization of preschool education for children with cerebral palsy. Using the example of Polish preschool education, an approach is shown that includes general and special technologies and directions for teaching children. On the basis of the regulations on education in the United States, the organizational and pedagogical conditions for preschool children with cerebral palsy are shown. The author of the article considers individual educational plans that regulate the upbringing and education of children with special educational needs. The article presents a North American study that found a correlation between the mobility of children and their socialization. The results of this study and practical recommendations are presented: the overall social activity of a child in a group depends on his/her motor abilities and the development of interaction (as communication skills and interaction with other children). In conclusion, based on a comparative analysis, the similarity of the scientific positions in Russia and other countries regarding the content of preschool education for children with cerebral palsy is shown. The role of preschool institutions in the development and socialization of children with cerebral palsy has been substantiated.

Relevance. The ability to visually model is a universal ability that is formed in preschool age. Children’s mastery of this ability is an important indicator of the child’s mental development and intellectual readiness for school. The quest game is the least studied method of developing the ability to visually model in children.

The aim of the study is to explore the possibilities of using the quest game as a means of working on the formation the ability to visual modeling in preschool children.

The methodology. The study included three stages: ascertaining, forming and control. To diagnose the ability to visual modeling in children, L.A. Venger’s “Schematization” technique was used. The methodology for developing children’s ability for visual modeling through quest games was based on the following conditions: 1) developing the ability for visual modeling should be carried out in stages: from teaching children to use ready-made visual models to learning to create them; 2) each quest game must include tasks that involve the use of different types of models (spatial, temporal, mathematical, logical) in a single plot. The study involved 41 children aged 5-6 years.

Research results. The analysis of the results of the ascertaining stage showed that 43% of children aged 5-6 years who participated in the study had a low ability to visual modeling. The results of the control experiment indicate the effectiveness of the work carried out: indicators of the ability to visually model the children participating in quest games increased; the number of children who showed a low level decreased by 15%.The positive dynamics are due to the following circumstances: 1) The quest game is a fun form of organizing correctional and developmental activities for preschool children; 2) The form of the quest game allows you to include tasks for both the usage and the creation of visual models by children; 3) The quest game makes it possible to use different types of models: spatial, temporal, mathematical, logical, regardless of its plot.

Conclusions. The data obtained confirm our assumption that the quest game can be considered as a means of forming the ability to visual modeling in older preschool children.
