The study focuses on current issues related to modeling and approbation of individual support for older preschool children with retarded mental development. The authors consider the implementation of a comprehensive psychological and pedagogical support on the basis of a private educational institution, substantiate the main principles of support taking into account the personified approach and describe a conceptual model. The conceptual model is represented by three interdependent units: the first unit of the service is focused on preschool children with disabilities, the second unit is aimed at advising the specialists of the private educational center for the purpose of further productive cooperation, the third unit is focused on providing assistance to families raising preschoolers with retarded mental development. The stages of individual psychological and pedagogical support in the conditions of the private educational center are singled out: motivational, diagnostic, indicative, activity orientated, reflective. The authors carried out psychological and pedagogical diagnostics of older preschool children with retarded mental development in order to identify the variability of individual manifestations. The material presents the results of complex neuropsychological diagnostics at the stages of ascertainment and control: the state of gnostic, praxic and mnestic functions of subjects is described, and a level-based characteristic is given. Due to the study, it becomes possible to analyze the structure of the defect of disturbed or delayed functions and select the optimal methods of corrective action, based on the patterns of interzonal interactions of the brain. With the experimental modeling of individual psychological and pedagogical support, the authors developed: a set of classes for older preschool children with retarded mental development, examples of notes from consultative talks, thematic planning of the parent lecture center. Besides, the role of the family in overcoming mental retardation is formulated and instruction booklets are issued. The article presents quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the psychological and pedagogical survey, formulates analytical conclusions.
