Objective of the study was to analyze the possibilities of adaptive sports in overcoming neurological disorganization in people with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities.
Methods and structure of the study. The experiment involved 33 respondents (31 mothers and two fathers) raising children aged 7 to 12 with ASD and intellectual disabilities. The study also involved children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disabilities.
Results and conclusions. On the basis of the experiment, practical recommendations have been developed for attracting such children to adaptive physical culture and the possibility of their social adaptation through sports.
The authors come to the conclusion that the involvement of children with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities in adaptive sports creates positive dynamics not only in the process of socialization of such children, but also in the interaction of the child and parents, as well as overcoming neurological problems that children with autism spectrum disorder have. Adaptive sports significantly increase the level of a child's trust in the world around him and allow him to overcome neurological disorganization.
Keywords: neurological disorganization, persons with intellectual disabilities, children with autism spectrum disorder, adaptive sports, adaptive physical culture.
