Features of the Formation of the Emotional and Volitional Sphere of Children with Intellectual Development Disorders

Abstract

In the current conditions of the development of domestic corrective pedagogy, there is a constant search for innovative ways to organise the education of children with intellectual disabilities. The formation of the emotional and volitional sphere in children with intellectual disabilities is an important aspect of their overall development and social adaptation. This is because the emotional and volitional sphere of older preschoolers (5-6 years old) and younger schoolchildren includes the ability to recognise, express and control emotions, as well as to develop volitional qualities such as perseverance, self-control and initiative. Children with intellectual disabilities have certain peculiarities in the development of this sphere, which requires a special approach and methods for its study and correction.
