Abstract
For children from mild to moderate mental retardation, living in an orphanage, require specific educational conditions. The absence of families of these children imposes their own conditions for the organization of their development. One of the effective forms of such development is information technology that allows a child with varying degrees of mental retardation to “go” outside the orphanage and find out what they could not find out at their place of residence. The socialization and development of such children can occur in the process of various types of activities, one of which is musical activity, which allows the child to hear the sounds of the world, get acquainted with various objects that have their own voice, learn to pronounce words correctly when singing children’s songs, listen to music. The article reveals the possibilities of musical and speech development of a child from a mild to moderate degree of mental retardation when using such information technologies as SmartBoard and LiteBim. Exercises are presented for searching for sound analogs, singing according to mnemonic diagrams of the game – vocal ones: for playing various sounds in a voice, rhythmic ones: for accompaniment of a musical composition “stick to the beat”, “play music”. Diagnostic results of the musical, musical, rhythmic and speech development of such children showed positive dynamics, which allows us to recommend the exercises and games used in the sequence determined by the authors of the article to teachers working with mentally retarded children in these institutions.
