Discovering the intellectual and professional abilities of special children, first of all, depends on the language environment created by teachers. In this regard, the task is to create an effective pedagogical paradigm of thinking and activity (concepts, categories, concepts), ensuring its constant updating. Purpose of the research is revealing the intellectual and professional abilities of special children. The main research methods are ascending from the abstract to the concrete, descending from the concrete to the abstract, from the concrete to the abstract and again to the concrete, from the abstract to the concrete and again to the abstract and method of working with text. Between 80 and 85 % of incoming information is perceived by the human visual organs, and our brain performs several functions. The main function is speculation, i.e. in understanding the essence, knowledge embedded in information. For example, a person can observe a rainbow, without understanding or knowing its nature. Only speculatively can he cognize the essence, i.e. a certain law, a scheme for the origin of this unusual phenomenon. Thus, knowledge is a product of a person’s own thinking, extracted from information.
