The article deals with the peculiarities of the mental development of children with autism spectrum disorders, their psychophysical abilities, the formation of cognitive functions, the means of communication, the development of the emotional-volitional sphere, behavior in society. Features  of correctional and pedagogical work with autistic children at the present stage are considered. A detailed definition of the definition of "autism", a modern classification of autism, the main features of autistic disorders in all its clinical variants are presented. Statistics on the incidence of autism in the world are provided. The characteristics and peculiarities of psychomotor development in preschool children with autism spectrum disorders and the logic of psychomotor development, the features of psychomotor development, the offered educational and correction tasks are presented. Importance and place of mobile games as the main means of adaptive physical education of preschool children with this nosology have been determined. Mobility games are distributed in the focus on the development of motor skills of preschool children with autism spectrum disorders. A modified classification of mobile games, entertainment, and entertainment that can be used in adaptive physical education and extracurricular forms of preschool-age  children with autism spectrum disorders is presented.

Traditional motor development programs for preschool children with disabilities usually utilize a behavior-analytic approach in which children are given specific training and instruction on identified IEP objectives. While this approach has its merits in terms of time-on-task and focus on critical IEP objectives, it is not consistent with current developmentally appropriate philosophies in early childhood education. One of the newer techniques suggested by early childhood educators as a “best practice” in educating young children is an activity-based or play-based approach. Children still have individually determined goals and objectives, but these goals and objectives are “embedded” in a variety of child-directed play activities. The teacher acts as a facilitator, encouraging the child to practice individual goals while exploring the environment. The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of activity-based intervention and provide examples of how it can be implemented within a motor development/physical education context for preschool children with disabilities.

The problem of prophylaxis of various deficiencies of the skeletal bone of preschool children and first of all of the spine, as a basic pillar in their development, was and remains in the sights of specialists in the field of physical education and sports. It has been shown experimentally that the means of physical education can and must be a basic support in terms of spinal deficiencies prophylaxis, especially in children of preschool age, in this case the age of 6-7 years. It is at this age that the first symptoms occur related to the appearance of one or another spine deficiency. If no direct action is taken, with the application of specific means to eliminate or reduce the occurrence of these deficiencies, the situation may become much more serious and much more difficult to resolve. In this case, a series of means of physical education are proposed in the form of complex exercises and dynamic games, which have been used successfully in the training process of preschoolers aged 6-7. At the same time, the influence of the prophylaxis process of spinal deficiencies on the level of physical development of the contingent given by children was researched.

Advocates of quality daily physical education for prepubescent children frequently encounter the argument that such initiatives will harm academic progress. The impact of daily physical education upon the academic performance of primary school students is thus reviewed with particular reference to studies conducted in Vanves (France), Australia, and Trois Rivières (Québec). When a substantial proportion of curricular time (14–26%) is allocated to physical activity, learning seems to proceed more rapidly per unit of classroom time, so that academic performance matches, and may even exceed, that of control students. Children receiving additional physical education show an acceleration of their psychomotor development, and this could provide a mechanism for accelerated learning of academic skills. Other potential mechanisms include increased cerebral blood flow, greater arousal, changes in hormone levels, enhanced nutrient intake, changes in body build, and increased self esteem. Academic teachers may also favor the enhanced physical education program, creating “halo” effects, and the resulting release time may enhance their academic teaching. Irrespective of mechanisms, the implication for public policy is that daily required physical education can be introduced when a child enters primary school without compromising academic development. Given the importance of establishing positive health habits from an early age, school boards should be encouraged to follow a policy of required daily physical activity in primary schools. Evidence of specific benefit in students with learning disabilities remains less convincing.

In preschool age there is a formation of the child's personality, the formation of his physical and spiritual culture - the basis of harmonious development, as the beauty of the human soul and healthy body. Today, one of the main tasks of improving preschool education is to raise a harmoniously developed, perfect, healthy child, able to fully realize their spiritual, physical, intellectual and moral capabilities. An important area of ​​physical education of preschool children is the use of various forms and tools for their harmonious development, among which an important place is given to play activities Purpose: to characterize the specific functions of the concept of play activities in the physical education of preschool children. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, induction and deduction, abstraction, comparison, classification and systematization. Results: specific functions are indicated as a certain category of system approach. It is represented by independent properties and has the purpose of describing the system of game activity within the physical education, which should be carried out to achieve the generalized goal. The group of specific functions of the concept of play activity in physical education includes the competence, interdependence, effectiveness and density, which are largely implemented by the author's concept and justified by us and implemented depending on the specifics of play in the relevant group of educational institutions. The fundamental changes taking place in the modern cultural and educational space, social demands and needs confirm the idea of the priority of childhood as the most responsible period of personality development. It is in preschool age that the formation of a child's personality takes place, the formation of his physical and spiritual culture - the basis of harmonious development, as the beauty of the human soul and a healthy body.
