EFFECTIVENESS OF USING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE SOCIALIZATION OF STUDENTS WITH MENTAL RETARDATION

Abstract

At the present stage of human civilization, education is considered as the main factor of the well-being of society, one of the fundamental human rights and the basis for ensuring other rights, as well as an important condition for peace, tolerance, realization of human potential and sustainable development. In the modern socio-economic situation, the issues of social adaptation of children with developmental disabilities (who need special education), in particular, the formation of their social competencies, are becoming relevant. As for the issue of socialization of students with mental retardation, complex developmental disorders of the child, first of all, prevent the child from entering into full and positive relationships with people around him in accordance with the periods of development. In total, all this affects the slowdown of the child's socialization processes and, as a consequence, his full integration into society as an individual. This article discusses the effectiveness of innovative technologies in helping to socialize students with mental retardation in the process of special education.
