Abstract

The article is concerned with one of the urgent issues of special psychology and pedagogy, i.e. psychological defense mechanisms and conceptual attitude of schoolchildren with intellectual disabilities as a factor in adaptation of an individual. The author analyzes socio-and psychological adaptation of children with intellectual disabilities by using a psychodynamic approach to the study of personality – the main indicators of the behavior determinants – defense mechanisms and semantic attitudes of an individual. This allows the author to distinguish the main patterns of sociopsychological adaptation of children with normal and pathological development and to formulate conclusions on the general approach to the personal potential of children with disabilities. The article provides descriptive examples of strategies and patterns of socio-psychological adaptation of children intellectual disabilities. The examples can be used in the process of training of specialists (bachelors, masters) in the field of general and special education.
