Methodology implementation features for the development of coordination abilities on the basis of an integrated approach among children with mental retardation

The relevance of the study is the need to find ways to effectively develop coordination abilities among children of primary school age with mental retardation. In this study we develop and test the method of developing coordination abilities among children of primary school age with mental retardation on the basis of an integrated approach that takes into account the types of formation stages of coordination abilities, hierarchy, consistency and parallel development of their types. Attention is drawn to the methodology implementation features among children of primary school age with mental retardation. We present the coordination abilities dynamics development in the implementation of the methodology in terms of defining: the ability to arbitrary relaxation (A.A. Artemenkov, N.I. Sapozhnikov), the ability to the preservation and maintenance of static balance (Romberg's test), dynamic balance (Turnings on gymnastic bench, P. Hirtz), the ability to manifest the accuracy of fine motor skills (Fist-sharp of the hand-palm, N.I. Ozeretskiy), ability to assimilate motor rhythm (Sprint in a given rhythm, P. Hirtz), the ability to harmonize body movements and its parts in the motor actions (step over through gymnastic stick, V.I. Lyakh), the ability to orientation in space (Jumping to the goal, P. Hirtz), the ability to differentiate effort, time, space (Jump down to the markup, P. Hirtz), the ability to manifest response time (Releasing stick – response, V.F. Lomeyko, K. Mekota).
