The relevance of the study is being covered through the changes in modern educational standards and the latest approaches of psychology for special needs to people with intellectual disabilities, the search for new opportunities to improve the training, education, and psychological support of the individual at different age stages, in particular such crisis ones as adolescence. The purpose of the scientific work is to determine the specifics of the mutual influence of emotional intelligence of psychologists (teachers – head teachers, social workers) interacting with adolescent students with intellectual disabilities on the development of emotional intelligence and its components in people of puberty with atypical development (intellectual disorders). The study involved only those teachers who often and closely cooperate with teenagers, in particular, conduct educational and explanatory conversations, psychocorrective classes, psychotherapy sessions, etc. To determine emotional intelligence (both for adults and adolescents), two standardised test methods were used: “Emotional intelligence questionnaire (N. Hall)” and “Emotional intelligence questionnaire “Emin” (D. Lyusin)”. In the course of the study, positive dynamics were established in experimental groups and an increase in the level of emotional intelligence and some of its components in adolescents with intellectual disabilities, who were influenced by psychologists (teachers, social workers) in the form of conversations, psychological correctional classes, and psychotherapy sessions. The reliable links between the components of emotional intelligence of psychologists/ teachers and the level of development of emotional intelligence of adolescents with intellectual disabilities were established and confirmed by the results of statistical analysis. The results obtained make it possible to develop effective psychological support for the adolescents under study, and, if necessary, to carry out supervision of psychologists or conduct psychotherapy sessions with teachers

Objective: To study the influence of the development of emotional intelligence of adolescents with CDs through the involvement of their parents and teachers in socialisation. The emotional sphere of adolescents with cognitive disorders (CDs) is no less important than correcting their cognitive development. The methods that allow fixing the patients' ability to recognise emotions don't realise the functioning of their emotional sphere. Method: Questionnaires were used for diagnosing the emotional interaction of parents and teachers with adolescents with CD, the questionnaire for measuring the socialisation of adolescents "How adapted I am to life" by A. Furman, statistical analysis ANOVA, correlation analysis r of Pearson, content analysis of the qualitative data. Results: Standardised questionaries developed that reflect the formation of emotional intelligence of the adolescent with CDs through the interaction with their parents and teachers. Empirical data obtained while research resulted in statistically significant correlations of emotional intelligence between parents, teachers and psychologists and social adaptation measured via Furman questionary. It was found that the positive emotional interaction and tactile support of adolescents with CDs with their parents increases the level of social adaptation. Similar correlations were found in teachers' emotional interaction with the adolescents with CDs. The number of parents who showed a low emotional and tactile interaction with adolescents was 20%. Conclusions: Detected statistically significant correlations proved that the high role of the participation of parents and teachers in the process of forming emotional intelligence contributes to the successful socialisation of adolescents with cognitive disorders.

Inclusive preschool education ensures the full development of pre-schoolers with disabilities and promotes their social adaptation. The use of visual material is one of the effective means of stimulating cognitive activity in the process of preschool inclusion. The success of its perception and assimilation depends on the level of non-verbal intelligence. Aim: The research aims to analyze the manifestations of non-verbal intelligence in healthy senior pre-schoolers and children with disabilities. Methods: The research involved theoretical methods of systematization and generalization of academic information, as well as empirical methods of psychological diagnostics. Statistical indicators were determined through descriptive statistics and a one-factor analysis of variance. Results: The study's results showed a high level of nonverbal intelligence and creative abilities in healthy senior pre-schoolers and pre-schoolers with disabilities. The analysis didn’t reveal any statistically significant differences (р≥0.05) between the indicators of non-verbal intelligence of the studied healthy senior pre-schoolers and pre-schoolers with disabilities. Conclusions: children with disabilities have medium-high indicators of the development of non-verbal intelligence and creative abilities, which do not statistically differ from the indicators of their healthy peers. Prospects: The obtained results can contribute to developing adaptation schemes for children with disabilities in the context of inclusive education. The obtained data provide the background for expanding the teaching materials for developing non-verbal intelligence in inclusive groups.

The article outlines the psychological features of the age period, which is determined by the scientific category as an “adolescent crisis”. The problem of the adolescent crisis has been revealed in people with intellectual disabilities. The importance and relevance of the study is revealed first, due to the difficulties of adolescence: its dynamism, ambiguity, lack of emotional stability of the individual; secondly, due to the specifics of personality formation with intellectual disabilities; thirdly, the need to further develop effective psychological support for adolescents with intellectual disabilities. The aim of the article was to study and experimentally test the specifics of the emotional crisis of adolescence in people with intellectual disabilities. The purpose was provided by solving the following tasks: stating the peculiarities of the adolescent crisis in people with intellectual disabilities; determining the state of formation of “I-concept” and “self-image” of adolescents with intellectual disabilities; establishing the specifics of behavioral reactions and interaction of the adolescent with others (peers, the elderly) in conditions of experiencing an age crisis. Moreover, the author conducted a psychological testing procedure to study the peculiarities of the formation of the personality of a teenager with intellectual disabilities during the age crisis (adolescent crisis). M. Kuhn’s psychological testing method “Who am I?”, T. Leary’s method of diagnostics of interpersonal relations were used; conversations, observations. The purpose of using these techniques was to determine the self-image, self-presentation, self-perception and self-esteem of adolescents with intellectual disabilities. According to the results of the study, it was found that adolescents with intellectual disabilities have a process of self-knowledge and understanding of their own “I”, internal mental acts and states are underdeveloped or absent. This complicates the process of experiencing an adolescent’s crisis. As evidenced by the low level of recognition and differentiation of emotions, emotional awareness, management of their own emotions. Also critical are difficulties with the adequate expression of emotions in accordance with the situation that determines them, in particular with the manifestation and control of anger, rage, aggression and other. The further directions of research of formation of the person with infringements of intellectual development in adolescent age are outlined.
