| Abstract |
Autism Spectrum Disorders include a wide range of relative dysfunctions, requiring special approach on all developmental stages. The aim of the research was studying characteristics of motor development of children with ASD. The following tasks were formulated: 1) Studying the mechanism of malfunctions of regulation of motor processes relating to different levels, considering laws of normal intrauterine psychic development. 2) Marking out special groups of children with ASD belonging to different levels of motor development basing on the principle of maximum fixation on different stages of sensor-motor development. Research results: The studying of the laws of normal intrauterine psychic development, based on the principle of reconfiguration of functional connections, system organization and hierarchy of mental functions led to marking out the groups of children with ASD belonging to different levels of motor sphere development. (1) 1st level of mental development, which has to maintain general tonus; (2) 2nd developmental level, which provides maturing automatic actions; (3) 3rd level of spatial analysis which allows to possess external space; (4) 4th level of voluntariness of movements. Diagnostic criteria and intervention tasks for each group were designed. Intervention program includes the consequence of sessions, their schedule and estimation criteria for the results of sensor-motor correction. The method of sensor-motor correction does not have a fixed structure, its application when working with children having ASD requires individual approach and has a range of contraindications. |
