Abstract
This article presents methods of using computer-based learning tools in working with children with autism spectrum disorder. The content of this article focuses on the use of special programs for creating animation.
The aim of the research is to develop social and communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, to form dialogue skills, to enhance verbal communication tools, and to strengthen communication skills in everyday situations.
The relevance of the research lies in the fact that for a child with autism spectrum disorder, «communication» with a computer is of interest, and the movement of inanimate objects in animation video attracts their attention. This allows establishing contact with the child, receiving a response from them, «and entering their world, becoming a friend»
The practical significance of the research: based on the ideas presented in the works of scholars such as Aimbetov M.T., Dresher Y.N., Zhigoreva M.V., Zabramnaya S.D., Maller A.R., Tiganov A.S., Volkov I.P., Monakhov V.M., and others, as well as theoretical and practical results, we have confirmed the effectiveness of applying these methods and techniques in our practice. These approaches can be used by all teachers and psychologists in their educational activities.
In conclusion, after working with two-dimensional animation, a strong positive dynamic in the development of communication skills in children was observed. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of animation contributes to the development of communication skills and the overall development of a child's speech, as well as helps create an interactive environment and increases the child's motivation for collaboration.
