The article presents the results of theoretical and empirical analysis of the ontogenetic dynamics of the internal disorder pattern in mental development disorder. It is revealed that the self-attitude and self-esteem of children with mental development disorder depends on the form of education, has a special pace, goes from dependence to independence, from unconditional positivity to criticality. The study on 60 children and adolescents revealed an increase in the level of awareness of qualities, the development of gender and family identity, maintaining a high and medium level of self-relationship. The age dynamics of the cognitive and physical component of the internal disorder pattern is determined. Recognition of the violation and the level of knowledge increases in primary school, in adolescence decreases. It is suggested that the denial of their own violations occur. In adolescents with mental retardation there is a decrease in sensitivity, suggestibility, fixation on their own bodily sensations.
