Thanks to this, in Esik there is now one of the best developing classes in Almaty region.
The class can simultaneously have three teachers and up to 20 students. In the Montessori Room they can develop tactile sensations, switch attention, train focusing on various activities - and all this in an exciting, playful way. Teachers show a child a rational and easy way to work with the material, give an example of actions with it.
Social adaptation of pupils of correctional boarding schools according to the pedagogical system of Maria Montessori is used in many countries, including Kazakhstan. It helps children with disabilities to correctly form and develop the psychophysical functions of an individual. The Montessori educational method allows correct cognitive functions, sensory capabilities, providing a child with a versatile development and the opportunity to develop at his own pace. Montessori class materials are very easy to use and correspond to the age peculiarities of children, taking into account the degree of the intellectual deficiency.
