In the present study, using an application program aimed at preventing posture disorders as part of a physical education lesson lasting 15-20 minutes for eight weeks, the authors made sure that the experimental group showed higher performance compared to the control group in all the test exercises studied. The authors found that the traditional practice of physical education in the control group did not cause significant development of the vestibular apparatus in the prevention of posture disorders, as in the experimental group, which performed the proposed exercises according to the scheme developed by them twice a week for eight weeks.

The article is devoted to the development of the vestibular system in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The development of the vestibular system plays a key role in improving motor coordination, balance and social adaptation. The authors emphasize that vestibular disorders in children with ASD negatively affect their cognitive skills. The article presents effective methods, including balancing, rotational, jumping and coordination exercises, adapted to the individual characteristics of the child. The experiment with preschoolers with ASD showed positive dynamics: 80% of participants improved coordination of movements, 70% decreased anxiety, increased confidence in everyday activities. Based on the results, practical recommendations were formulated, including an individual approach, gradual increase in load, sensory support and structured classes. Regular classes under the guidance of specialists contribute not only to the development of the vestibular system, but also to the improvement of the quality of life of children with ASD, facilitating their social adaptation.
