ORGANIZATION OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MARTIAL LAW

The article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of the organization of leisure activities of children with special educational needs in out-of-school education institutions. It was emphasized that one of the modern trends of humanitarian policy is the creation of a barrier-free space in Ukraine. The inclusive education model of the new Ukrainian school, an important component of which is extracurricular education, meets this goal. The uniqueness of out-of-school education lies in providing children with special educational needs access to basic educational services, which involves the creation of the necessary infrastructure, methodical and personnel support for the educational process. The attractiveness of extracurricular education is due to the small number of groups, territorial and socio-economic availability of educational services. In the conditions of martial law, an important function of out-of-school education institutions is the formation of general competencies and value orientations of students, in particular military-patriotic upbringing of children with special educational needs. Extracurricular education contributes to the psychological rehabilitation of such children. It was noted that the key position in the organization of leisure activities is the creative, proactive work of the teacher-organizer. The importance of game programs aimed at the development of the child's personality is indicated. It was found that physical activity is an effective means of stabilizing the mental health of children with special educational needs. It is shown that the practice of using online technologies in the organization of the educational process of children with special educational needs is controversial. The necessity of equipping out-of-school education institutions with comfortable shelters, the use of innovative and effective methods of working with children, in particular the methods of role harmonization and the golden mean, is emphasized. The main problems of the organization of leisure activities of children with special educational needs are highlighted, in particular, unsatisfactory material and technical and personnel support for the work of out-of-school education institutions. The need to train future teachers for the field of extracurricular education in institutions of higher education, increase the number of hours of pedagogical practice for students, improve the qualifications of teachers and managers of extracurricular education institutions in post-graduate education institutions, establish partnership cooperation between specialists of institutions in the field of education and health care, etc. was emphasized.
