THE USE OF PLAY THERAPY IN CORRECTIONAL WORK FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN

the problem of correctional work for children of primary school age is relevant today. In this scientific article, the authors suggest that school-age children use toys and games as a means of conducting remedial classes. Play therapy is a tool that can be used when working with both children and their parents. To illustrate the research work, the article used the questionnaire method, the bibliographic method, and the observation method. In addition, caterers from real situations were presented and the games used for corrective work and their guidance were shown. The MEGA Tulga children's development center was acquired as a research base, which has been operating on the basis of play therapy in Taraz since 2016. The center accepts children aged 3 to 14 years and conducts their correctional work. The center presents more than 30 types of toys that enhance children's intellectual abilities. In the process of proper communication with children and correctional work, it is necessary to choose the right special tools. And game therapy in this case becomes universal. Despite the fact that this area of psychology has developed in foreign countries, attention is now being paid and studied in Kazakhstan. Therefore, the topic and direction of the article do not lose their relevance.
