The purpose of the article is to determine the methods of developing the creative abilities of autistic children by modern choreography. Methodology: in our work, we used systematic and comparative methods, as well as problem and analytical analysis of the literature to study methods of developing autistic children through art therapy and choreography, to improve their plastic capabilities and study the latest trends in art and psychology. Scientific novelty. The question of the development of creative abilities of autistic children by art therapy has already been studied in modern literature, but the novelty of the research it’s the first attempt to determine methods of developing plastic abilities of children with autism by means of modern dance. Due to the research, we have identified methods for developing the creative abilities of autistic children by means of modern choreography, in particular - modern dance. On the one hand, the focus of modern pedagogy is on people with special needs who receive additional permanent or temporary support in the educational process in order to ensure their right to education. On the other hand, much less importance is given to meeting the needs of children with autism by involving them in modern cultural and artistic practices. Although, in our opinion, it provides much more opportunities for adaptation of people with special needs, the development of their desire for beauty. Our research art and cultural attention have focused on the development of plastic abilities of autistic children by means of modern dance in modern cultural and artistic practices. Conclusions: we determined that it is important to develop the plastic abilities of such children, although it is very difficult to teach such child to dance professionally, it is possible to develop the choreographic grace of movements. In the course of our research, we analyzed the available scientific materials on autism and identified the behavior of autistic children, and explored the possibilities of using modern dance in the development of autistic children as one of the means of developing their creative abilities.

Knowledge is needed for children with special needs to support their quality of life. This is a challenge for prospective educators / prospective teachers. A deeper knowledge is needed to really understand children with special needs. This research is carried out to develop a skill simulator application for autistic child’s prospective educator using Virtual Reality technology. This application will be used as a teaching medium which incorporates motion sensor tools. The sensors will make the virtual application looks realistic. The application was developed using the ADDIE method (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). The application development begins with discovering the characteristic of autistic children. This is done to formulate the learning materials. The knowledge base of the autistic children was obtained from the Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB). By using the obtained knowledge, storyboard was designed and implemented. The developed application has been evaluated by 16 prospective child educators with autism and two professional experts. In general, the application can help prospective educators understand the characteristics of children with autism.

The article is dedicated to the problem of academic skills assessment in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) participating in the Adapted Educational Programmes 8.1 and 8.2. Implementation of inclusive education raises a question of academic assessment and test accommodation design for students with special needs. We provide a description of an approach called the ‘Universal Design of Assessment’ and analyse the main features of cognitive and social development in children with ASD which have to be accounted for in the educational process. We then discuss the International Performance Indicators in Primary Schools (iPIPS) and its modification for children with ASD developed according to their special needs. A brief outline of research results shows that the modification of the iPIPS technique does not affect the measured construct. Finally, we provide some recommendations on how to apply the technique depending on the students’ individual features.

A normal child who is not lacking in anything physical or psychological is the dream of all parents. A hope regarding this matter is something that is natural for anyone. It's just that, in reality these hopes cannot be realized for some people. One of them is the presence of children with special needs in their lives. Even though every child has their own uniqueness and potential. One of the children with special needs is an autistic child. Autism is a very complex developmental disorder in a long life that includes disruption in aspects of social interaction, communication and behavior as well as emotional disturbances and sensory perceptions even in motoric aspects. Very severe disorders of some disorders experienced by children with autism that is a disorder in the ability to communicate. The ability to communicate nonverbally for children in general can be obtained naturally, without the need to be specifically and continuously taught for a long and long time. But the situation will be very different from autistic children. Autistic children need a design and learning strategy and approach to improve their nonverbal communication skills appropriately. Along with this, the development of Technology, Information and Communication (ICT) is inevitable. Most people think that the introduction and development of ICT knowledge is only for normal children. Through community service, the PKM team wants to share related developments in Technology, Information and Communication to children with special needs by using assistive devices and games specifically for children with special needs, especially children with autism. The implementation was carried out at SLB C Budi Daya, Cijantung, East Jakarta on 14 and 17 September 2018 ago.

The resilience of parents with children with autism is a key concept in the confrontation of the autism challenges which demand parents who are mentally healthy and who will be in a position to satisfy the special needs of their autistic children, however, without sinking into loneliness and isolation which affect the less resistant families and upset their inner balance. The parents resort to various sources for the strengthening of resilience, it is the power of God both as a cause of the origin of autism and as the unique or one of the possible ways of resolving the problem. This survey investigated the views on divine will as to the origin and confrontation of autism in families of Christians and Muslims and it attempted to highlight the possible differences in the culture of these groups that are different in terms of culture and religion. The parents of 312 autistic children in Greece, all of them couples, namely 624 men and women, constituted the population sample. The quantitative survey results showed that the Greek Christians satisfy more efficiently their child’s needs, perhaps because they attribute lesser importance to the factor of the Divine compared to the parents of other religions. The weaker connection between the origin and management of the disease and the Divine will allows them to invest in scientific help for addressing a problem which in fact they perceive in more positive social terms than the Muslims do.

The article solves the issues of psychological and pedagogical preconditions of correctional work with autistic children. The principles and methods of interaction with adults having children with autism spectrum disorders are substantiated. It is noted that correctional work with an autistic child should take place at all ages and in all spheres of their life. The importance of creating pedagogical conditions for correctional work aimed at autistic children’s education in the inclusive environment is revealed. The main difficulties of inclusion of children with such nosology into general education classes are determined. Stages of correctional work with autistic children within the offered innovative psychological-pedagogical conditions are offered. We have summarized the performed review of scientific and pedagogical literature. The learning motivation of children with autism includes many factors that are constantly changing and entering into new relations. According to their content, motives are divided into external and internal, social and cognitive, etc.; they play an important role in educational activities. External motives are related to factors that lie outside the educational activities; internal motives are directly related to educational activities and the course of an educational process. If external motivation predominates over internal one, internal motivation for learning should be formed. Successful activities require both types of motivation - internal and external - but, according to some authors, children are more likely to have external motivation than internal, which leads to the presence of motives that are "understood", but often not really act. Therefore, special attention should be paid to formation of internal (cognitive) motivation requires. The current stage of correctional care for children with autistic spectrum disorders in Ukraine is characterized by dynamic scientific and practical searches for optimal corrective ways and methods. We analysed theoretically the works by foreign and national scientists and showed the depth and comprehensiveness of the methods, technologies to overcome autism and develop such children.

The Viennese modern choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser's black coat leads to an analysis of her choreography in four main phases – the early European career; the rise of Nazism; war's brutality; and postwar attempts at reconciliation. Utilising archival and embodied research, the article focuses on a selection of Bodenwieser costumes that survived her journey from Vienna, or were remade in Australia, and their role in the dramaturgy of works such as Swinging Bells (1926), The Masks of Lucifer (1936, 1944), Cain and Abel (1940) and The One and the Many (1946). In addition to dance history, costume studies provides a distinctive way to engage with the question of what remains of performance, and what survives of the historical conditions and experience of modern dance-drama. Throughout, Hannah Arendt's book The Human Condition (1958) provides a critical guide to the acts of reconstruction undertaken by Bodenwieser as an émigré choreographer in the practice of her craft, and its ‘materializing reification’ of creative thought. As a study in affective memory, information regarding Bodenwieser's personal life becomes interwoven with the author's response to the material evidence of costumes, oral histories and documents located in various Australian archives. By resurrecting the ‘dead letters’ of this choreography, the article therefore considers how dance costumes offer the trace of an artistic resistance to totalitarianism.
