The following article presents speech-therapy guidance for the families, who have kids with speech disorders, and outlines directions and means of solving the problem. The authors view speech-therapy guidance as interaction of all the participants in the correction process. Its implementation goes as a simultaneous, coherent system of work, which begins with interaction between the child, the therapist and experts in other specialties (psychologist, doctors, and rehabilitation specialists). Afterwards the work is meant to continue by parents supervised by the speech therapist. The article touches upon both group and individual work done in cooperation with parents. Group work – parents’ meetings, guidance, round tables, exhibitions, seminars, frontal-work lessons, workshops, games and exercises’ libraries, visual libraries, open days and conferences. Individual work – individual discourses, practicing, watching individual lessons, recommendation notices, homework notebooks, conducting surveys and home libraries. The authors claim that the system of a speech-therapy guidance can be introduced as two general aspects in work: 1) Speech-therapy aspect involves acquiring knowledge about phases and peculiarities of the child’s speech development, enhancing speaking communication among children, forming awareness of pre-school children speech disorders, motivation for cooperation with speech therapists, teachers and children, acquiring skills to follow the therapist’s advice and use all the correction exercises. The points mentioned above help to do the speech therapist supervised correction work, to adhere to the same requirements and the sequence of speech influence and conduct systematic correction work in accordance to the speech therapist’s advice. 2) Psychological aspect involves forming the knowledge about age-based psychological peculiarities of children’s development, fostering motivation skills for speaking communication, developing the skill of providing appropriate conditions for effective speech development, promoting ways of successful communication of children and parents. Nowadays there are different ways and forms of speech-therapy guidance for parents. The ones that proved to be the most informative and interactive are contemporary information technologies.

This article proposes the results of performed work, which aims are to prepare junior schoolchildren with severe speech disorders to solve arithmetic problems in speech therapy classes. Our previous research has found that children with severe speech disorders had difficulty solving arithmetic problems. In the process of preparing junior schoolchildren with severe speech disorders to solve arithmetic problems in speech therapy classes, we observed specific errors at the level of: pronunciation of sounds, words; sentence construction; text translation. To overcome them, we used correction tasks. They were offered to children to perform only when they saw in them a mistake of a certain type, and therefore did not include these tasks in the text of the lesson, and offered them as tips in the working mode. The duration of these correction tasks is 1-2 minutes. The purpose of their use is the awareness of children with severe speech disorders of mistakes and formation of their skills of independent control over their own speech. In order to overcome errors, we offered different tasks based on analytical systems: visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic, changing them each time. The final analysis of the features of speech therapy classes has shown that in order to overcome specific errors in oral and written speech among pupils with severe speech disorders during speech therapy classes was effective to use not only tasks for speech development, but also corrective exercises that were involved in different situations depending on the manifestation. In particular, to correct the phonetic side of speech, pupils with severe speech disorders were taught to focus on analytical systems: auditory – associating speech sounds with different sounds of the environment; tactile-kinesthetic – feeling vibration; visual – imagining the articulatory image and associating the sound of speech with visual support. In the future, based on the concise tips of a speech therapist (figurative, gestural, facial expressions, etc.) children were offered to correct mistakes. And when the tips were taken away, they were applied only when needed to individual pupils with severe speech disorders.


The results of psycho-correction speech therapy are analyzed in dynamics in 78 patients with varying severity and various forms of speech disorders in the early and late recovery periods of ischemic stroke. The effectiveness of conducting classes during the stay of patients in a neurological hospital and the positive impact of these exercises in the inpatient period (outpatient classes, classes at home with a speech therapist and trained relatives) are shown. Patients who did not conduct speech recovery classes during the inter-stationary period showed a decrease in speech activity, in some even a negative dynamic.
