150

Abstract

We present the development of the learning behavior patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with severe multiple developmental disorders (SMDD) on the model of a number of individual behavioral patterns of which the group activity “Circle” consists. The “Circle” is one of the most important organizational activities in the classroom. The study involves a class consisting of five children with severe and multiple developmental disabilities (SMDD) enrolled in the special school education program for children with ASD (so-called adopted general education program type 8.4). Present article covers the issues of the structure of the stereotype of the learning behavior, the aims of the planning psycho-educational work. As a result of the training, all children showed positive dynamics. Also, concomitant positive changes were noted associated with adaptation to schooling. After additional evidence-based studies, it is possible to transfer the practice to work with children with other developmental disorders.
