According to the world and domestic experience, the number of children with developmental disabilities is great and growing steadily. The analysis of literary sources shows that among all health disorders of a human, the mental retardation is the most common. Attention to the problem of mental retardation is caused by the fact that the number of children with this type of anomaly is growing every year. This circumstance requires the creation of conditions for maximum possible correction of developmental disorders of children, their education, vocational training, finding ways of socialization and integration in society. If for a healthy person an exercise is a means of active development and body perfection, for children with mental retardation it is one of the main means of eliminating deviations in the motor area, full physical development, health, adaptation in society. The article describes the characteristics of correction and development of mobile games and their impact on children with deviations in intelligence.

There are four lysosomal diseases of which the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is the rarest. The clinical presentation and their characteric abnormal ultrastructure subdivide them into four types. These are known as the Infantile form (Santavuori-Haltia), Late infantile form (Jansky-Bielschowsky), Juvenile form (Batten-Spielmeyer-Voght) and the Adult form (Kuph's).An 8 year old Omani girl presented wth myclonic jerks since the age of 4 years, with progressive encephalopathy, mental retardation, ataxia and loss of vision.
