Introduction. The multiplicity, ambiguity and inconsistency of mental development disorders in autistic children with characteristic behavioral characteristics and a global inability to establish and maintain contacts with the outside world are the subject of public concern and the object of study by various specialized specialists. By creating an intensive socio-developmental environment, psychologists, educators and medical professionals focus on correcting the behavioral, emotional and cognitive spheres of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), without taking into account the peculiarities of psychomotor development and the role of tonic tension in "problematic" characteristics (impaired sensory integration and development of verbal speech, ritual and stereotypical behavior, anxiety and isolation). Experts in the field of AFC, explaining the listed problems by a deficit or an incorrect distribution of psychophysical tone, argue that autistic children need specially organized physical education classes using various, as close to life as possible, game-developing technologies [1].
The aim of the study is to determine the content and orientation of neuromotor aids in adaptive physical education of children with ASD.
The results of the study and their results. Neuromotor aids (VAT) are kinesiological exercises and game techniques aimed at improving interhemispheric interaction and activating the formation of new neural connections in the cerebral cortex, contributing to the improvement of cognitive functions and motor skills.
Based on the generalization of their own practical experience, a VAT complex was developed based on the use of special intellectual and motor tasks that coordinate the work of the right and left hemispheres. The complex consists of three sections: neurohymnastics, neurogames, and neuroscience. 
Neurohymnastics are exercises that represent a consistent coordinated performance of motor actions with a cognitive task (choosing and pronouncing colors, numbers, size, volume, name of an object or object). They include: breathing exercises; oculomotor exercises; stretching; exercises for the development of interhemispheric interaction. They are used in the preparatory and final parts of classes.
Neurogames are a complex of various gaming and motor techniques based on motor planning, mnemonic exercises aimed at developing mental processes, physical abilities, spatial and motor praxis.  They are included in the main part of the lessons.
Neurobiology is a complex of physical and cognitive exercises based on the application of the principle of ambidextrous, cross-movements, juggling, fingerboarding, and the use of various sensory stimuli.
Conclusion. The first results of the diagnosis of the use of the proposed neuromotor means allow us to assert their correctional and developmental effect on the indicators of the psychomotor, emotional-volitional and motor coordination spheres of children with mental disorders (including ASD).
