TRAINING OF PARENTS OF 3—7 YEARS OLD CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER TO CARRY OUT CORRECTIVE PHYSICAL EXERCISES AT HOME

Preschool age (3—7 years old) is the period of the most expressed, “classical” autistic disorders, which are characterized by stereotypic movements, difficulties in formation of simple household skills and actions, impairments of large and fine motor skills. The system of habitation of children of 3—7 years old with autism spectrum disorders, adopted in the Russian Federation, carried out at home involves participation of parents in formation of the motor initiative, stimulating formation of all systems and functions of the body, correction, completion and prevention of the motor and psychological disorders. The purpose of the study is development, scientific justification and implementation of the program of formation of the parental pedagogical competencies, which are necessary for independent implementation of adaptive physical education at home. The study was conducted on the basis of the Smolensk state academy of physical culture of sports and tourism (Smolensk) during 2018—2019. The experiment participants were 95 parents of 3—7 years old children with various forms of autism spectrum disorders. The authors used the following research methods: analysis of scientific literature, conversation, pedagogical observation. During implementation of the training program for parents of 3—7 years old children with autism spectrum disorders in conducting corrective physical exercises at home, individual, group forms of work with all participants in the educational process were used. The forms of work varied depending on the type of the family upbringing, conditions of detention, the nature and degree of psychosomatic disorders of a 3—7 years old child with autism spectrum disorder. Practical classes were organized individually or together with parents and children. Methods of work are: seminar, lecture, group training, and practical exercises in groups and individually. The participation of parents in adaptive physical education of 3—7 years old children with autism spectrum disorders is an effective component of their habilitation system.
