The article deals with the content of the work teachers in preschool educational establishments are engaged in regarding children with special educational needs. Teachers are offered a number of health-saving pedagogical technologies of an express correctional orientation. Health-saving (correctional) educational technologies can be used in group work with all types of children, not just with those involved in adaptive educational programs. Besides, some of the technologies described below can be offered selectively to a special needs child taking into account his/her specific characteristics. The health-saving (correctional) educational technologies will also be beneficial and available to every participant in the educational process: psychologists, teachers, educators, music instructors, social pedagogues, physical culture instructors and specialists involved in implementing adaptive curricula, and groups with a compensatory or combined focus. Most of the health-saving (correctional) educational technologies listed in this article are available to a special needs child’s parents for use in the home. Application of these technologies does not require that they should have some specialized training in defectology. Mastering these (remedial) pedagogical technologies will enhance the level of pedagogical competence among parents of children with special needs and will help to improve the mental, speech and motor development of a child with special educational needs.
