Abstract
The article highlights mindfulness technology as a tool for social and emotional development of preschool children with intellectual disabilities. It is known that socio-emotional development is an important component of a child's mental development. Possession of their emotions, the ability to differentiate the emotions of others, compassion and empathy, the ability to work in a team significantly affect the development of emotional intelligence. This is very important for further schooling of preschoolers with intellectual disabilities. The article considers the importance of socio-emotional development of the personality of a child with intellectual disabilities. The history of origin and application of mindfulness technology in children, including those with mental and physical disabilities, is presented. Mindfulness is the practice of being fully aware of your thoughts, emotions and experiences at every moment. Defines mindfulness as the transfer of attention to the present moment without assessing oneself or the surrounding reality. This technology has no religious or esoteric context. Its essence is that when a person realizes the duration of the present moment, he is completely immersed in it and at the same time fixed on their thoughts, feelings and actions. Mindfulness includes two components: self-regulation of attention and focus on experience. Self-regulation of attention is a process of directing attention and conscious observation of the flow of thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations that a person experiences here and now. Experience-oriented - open, interested acceptance of one's own experience at a certain point in time. The article covers part of the program for social and emotional development of children with intellectual disabilities, which includes the use of mindfulness technology. The main structural elements of the program are indicated, which include techniques of conscious breathing, conscious listening, conscious contemplation, elements of conscious imagination. Examples of application of mindfulness techniques of each kind are given. The effectiveness of the use of mindfulness technology in children with intellectual disabilities is shown.
