Abstract

This study is devoted to issues related to one of the priority areas in education—the introduction of smart information technologies into educational process and search for new learning methods for different types of trainees. This article contains three sections: the first one describes multimedia technologies used in the learning process, their advantages, and disadvantages; the second section describes the problem of educating children with special needs, their rehabilitation and interaction with special pedagogues; the third section presents the results of a survey of children participating in the experiment, as well as the opinions of special pedagogues. In this paper, the authors analyzed literature on creation and development of educational media solutions for children and considered recommendations for developing applications for both ordinary children and children with various problems. To conduct the study, the authors developed an application that includes three groups of tasks for the child: identifying an object (what object is on the screen, what kind of object it is); name the object (as the development of speech); repeat the action (as part of the awareness of the capabilities of your body). The developed system was tested in a specialized institution of preschool education for children with special needs.
