Introduction. Today at The Russian Federation pays great attention to the motor activity of disabled children, and early care technologies are being developed in many regions. Nevertheless, it can be noted that the development of an inclusive format of adaptive motor activity among adolescents with disabilities is not sufficiently paid attention in both state and non-state social support institutions. As domestic and foreign practice shows, playing bocce allows adolescents with various forms of disability to actively communicate during the game, thereby destroying communication barriers not only between adolescents with disabilities and healthy adolescents, but also among themselves.
The aim of the study was to study the influence of the inclusive format of adaptive motor activity by means of playing bocce among adolescents with disabilities.
Methodology and organization of the study. The method was tested on the basis of the State Budgetary Institution "Center for Socio-cultural Rehabilitation of Diana Gurtskaya". The age of participants in the experimental and control groups is 10-19 years. the algorithm of working with teenagers to develop their communication skills involves a series of sequential actions that can be divided into four stages. the first stage is aimed at a comprehensive study of children and determining their potential to take part in team group activities and carry out the necessary actions. The organization of the second stage is associated with the formation of an adaptive group, in which adolescents with functional limitations of various nosologies are taught through a system of exercises the rules of the game, working out the technique of throws. The third stage is aimed at implementing the program, where the game becomes a factor of development and communication between participants. At the fourth stage of work with adolescents, changes in the communicative sphere, functional states, and emotional background are evaluated.
Conclusions. playing bocce with pedagogically correct, justified practical use is an effective game method for correcting psychophysical deficiencies and improving the indicators of emotional and communicative development of adolescents.
