Emotional Intelligence Development Using Neuropsychological Exercises Based on Musical Fairy Tales in Children with Intellectual Disabilities

The program belongs to the correctional-developing psychological and pedagogical direction. This program is aimed at developing the emotional intelligence of children with intellectual disabilities using musical fairy tales. The problem of developing the emotional intelligence of children with disabilities is very actual. For a child to feel equal in communicating with others, confident, proactive, it is necessary to prepare children not only intellectually, but emotionally. And the use of musical fairy ta-les gives a wide range of characters’ images, supported by musical accompaniment for the interpretation and verbalization of the emotional states of the characters. The program involves a whole range of psycho-preventive measures aimed not only at the development of emotional intelligence, but also at the use of neuropsychological correction methods that affect the development of the cerebral hemispheres and their interaction. Taking into account this factor, the lessons according to the program make it possible to apply in practice the whole complex of neuropsychological exercises through the transfer of characteristic features and actions of characters with the help of movements, which makes the complete training of the “brain” available for children with intellectual disabilities.
