The paper analyzes axiological and participatory approaches to understanding the essence of spiritual and moral values of older preschoolers. These approaches allow us to understand how children's moral orientations are formed and developed in the context of their interaction with the outside world. The essential characteristics identified within the framework of these approaches are: social interaction, value orientation, integration of moral values into the educational process, a system of moral norms and principles, as well as collective activity. In determining the essential characteristics of spiritual and moral values in older preschoolers, these elements are basic. We have identified the essence of the spiritual and moral values of older preschoolers as a set of moral norms and ethical principles that children develop through active social interaction and joint activities with all participants in the educational process.

The article examines the problem associated with the creation of special conditions in preschool educational institutions for the expansion of social interactions among older preschoolers with mental retardation (DD), the formation of socially acceptable behavior, and a positive emotional reaction to participation in socially useful activities. A systematic approach to solving the problem is proposed, which includes not only education, but also the full involvement of children with ASD in socially useful activities through integrative forms of interaction. The article describes the technology of organizing and conducting integrated classes with children aged 6-7 years, aimed at developing the necessary competencies for social activity, taking into account the specifics of their development, their educational needs and capabilities.
