Аннотация

This article explores the effectiveness of a multisensory approach in supporting the cognitive development of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Cognitive difficulties such as challenges in attention, memory, and executive functioning are common in children with ASD and can significantly impact their learning process. A multisensory approach—integrating visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and kinesthetic stimuli—offers an alternative and inclusive strategy to engage these children more effectively. The paper analyzes current research findings, practical applications in special education settings, and the role of special education professionals (defectologists) in implementing multisensory interventions. It concludes that individualized multisensory strategies can enhance engagement, improve cognitive functions, and foster more meaningful learning experiences for children with autism.
