Abstract
The article presents the results of psycho-correctional of emotional and volitional sphere of children with mental retardation within the approach of bodyoriented therapy. The empirical data suggest that the course of body-oriented therapy creates prerequisites for achieving a deep and stable improvement of the physical and mental condition of children with mental retardation. This therapy leads to a decrease in the level of emotional and psychomotor excitability, which in turn affects the productivity of cognitive functions and normalization of behavior.
