The Program Content of Mentally Retarded Children's Self-care Skills Development in the Context of Lekoteka: The elaborated program is based on the experience of the Center of medical pedagogics (Moscow) work, it gives the possibility to teach children with different developmental disorders. The system of step-by-step teaching, developed by the American psychologists Brus L. Beiker, Alan J. Braitman ("Way to independence") [10] has become the basis of the program. The advantage of the step-by-step system is that it allows to train a child with special needs quickly and effectively to have a certain skill. The level, at which the child can independently make any action within this skill and the following small step to which a child should be trained, is defined for this purpose. The reward system (attention, food reward-favourite food or drink, hobbies, etc.) is applied. The development of each skill has its scheme of steps - from simple to difficult. The help of an adult decreases in volume in the process of action acquisition within the skill, it follows from physical help to a gesture and then - to the instruction.
