Background and Aim: Theory of Mind (TOM) refers to the ability for attributing mental states and beliefs to ourselves and others, and understanding that the others’ mental states can be different from ours. However, this ability seems to be delayed in children with the history of hearing impairment. Based on the evidence, there is a mutual association between language development and social experiences. The present study aimed to assess TOM and the effect of speech therapy in 8- to 9-year-old children with cochlear implants (CIs).Methods: The present study was descriptive and cross-sectional in design. A total of 18 Persian-speaking children with CIs and 18 normal children aged 8-9 years participated in the current study. Children with CIs were selected through convenience method from Amir Alam Hospital and normal peers from their play-ground. The participants had no history of sensory, anatomical, neuronal, and speech disorders. The basic and advanced TOM was assessed with Ghamarani TOM test and a comparison was done between normal children and children with CIs. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS 21.Results: The performance of the two groups with regard to the basic and advanced TOM was significantly different (p<0.001). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between the duration of speech therapy and TOM abilities (r=0.46, p=0.041).Conclusion: Hearing impairment affects the ability of TOM in children with CIs. The duration of speech therapy has a positive effect on the development of TOM.

The issue of symptomatic speech disorders of people with sensory disabilities currently is not in the centre of attention of researchers in theoretical field and, based on our research, not even of the professionals in the speech therapy practice. Though it can more or less substantially influence individual's development and his communication. Even though the speech disorder does not represent dominant problem in the scope of primary disability, it can significantly influence individual's life quality, mainly its psychosocial dimension. We were interested in what is the attitude of speech therapists in practice to this issue, what are their needs and experience. From the collected qualitative and quantitative data there were identified several aspects which determine the care of individuals with sensory disability from the point of view of speech therapists. There appeared mainly questions concerning available resources of professional literature, use of aids, possibilities of further development, question of awareness, experience, approach and general knowledge of speech therapists concerning observed issue.

Speech therapists’ work is directly connected with prevention and therapy of speech disorders. Creativity educator supports, enhances and develops creative abilities, creative attitude of children, adolescents and adults.

This article is an attempt to illustrate the possible relations between pedagogy of creativity and logopedics, and to show the practical ways in which the practice of speech therapy may become an opportunity to develop children’s creativity.

The process of professional training of future speech therapy teachers is closely related to the state of General and special education systems, focused on achievements in the development of the theory of speech therapy and the realities of practical speech therapy. All the factors the authors have noted make adjustments to the process of training speech therapists, often exposing the problems of their professionalization, generating discussion points in the course of professional training. The article discusses a number of problems that arise in the process of professionalization of future speech therapists. The first problem is related to the insufficient level of linguistic readiness of those who entered the training in the “Speech Therapy” profile. Another problem concerns the teaching of debatable aspects of speech therapy theory and practice-the unification of the categorical apparatus of speech therapy, the application of a scientifically based ratio of nosological and symptomological approaches in speech therapy theory and practice (when preparing speech therapy conclusions), the implementation of a comprehensive approach to the identification and correction of speech disorders, improving the differential diagnosis of various forms of speech disorders. The third problem of professional training of speech therapists is related to their future work with children with disabilities in the widespread practice of inclusive education. All the identified problems significantly affect the quality of speech therapists training, and therefore require discussion.

The article substantiates the importance of applying the activity-technological criterion to determine the readiness of future speech therapists for interaction with children with speech disorders. It is indicated that modern speech therapy education requires the use of new algorithms for diagnosing the levels of readiness for professional activities of future speech therapists, in particular for interaction with children with speech disorders. The professional activity of a future speech therapist is defined as an important type of pedagogical activity, for which future speech therapists must have design, organizational, executive and evaluation skills, an individual style of activity, a high level of self-awareness, an ability to self-development and self-improvement. Theoretical analysis of the problem of training of future speech therapists allowed to determine the criteria of future speech therapist’s readiness for professional activity: motivational and personal, informational and competence, activity and technological. The integration of the content of all structural criteria ensures the process of forming future speech therapist’s readiness for professional activity. The program for forming professional readiness of future speech therapists for interaction with children with speech disorders has been developed and implemented to test the readiness of future speech therapists for professional activity according to the activity-technological criterion. The program is based on an additional invariant and variant, the priority of practice and variability of programs of academic disciplines that enhance the training of students. The necessary conditions for the formation of future speech therapist’s readiness for professional activity are the knowledge and skills acquired as a result of communication and professional experience.
