The methodical article deals with the application of the method of visualizing educational materials as an effective tool for the formation of communication skills in preschool children with autism spectrum disorders. The factors contributing to the development of communication skills are determined, and the conditions for corrective influence are outlined. The relationship between the formation of mental qualities, abilities and the development of communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders has been established. Examples of visualizing didactic materials to improve perception and development of the conceptual apparatus of a child with ASD are introduced. Effective visualization tools for the formation of communication skills are proposed for the consistent implementation of agreed corrective measures by teachers and parents. The inclusion of children with special educational problems in the general educational space is one of the urgent issues of the integrative processes of the modern education system in Ukraine. Among the challenges faced by teachers, the issue of creating special conditions for learning and raising children with autism spectrum disorders is extremely relevant, as they are characterized by disorders of mental development characterized by a pronounced deficit in social interaction, the ability to communicate and learn about the environment, and a loss of interest in reality. Socialization and inclusion of such children in teams is successfully implemented during inclusive education and corrective and developmental work. Therefore, all pedagogical methods aimed at working with such preschoolers should be individually oriented and aimed at the formation of communication and social interaction skills. Work on psychological and pedagogical correction, education and upbringing of children with autism spectrum disorders is one of the most pressing issues in the education system today, since autism spectrum disorders are a polymorphic disorder of personal development, which is characterized by numerous complications in various areas of development.
