Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the features of inflection skills of the preschoolers with a general speech disorders. The problem of studying the grammatical structure of speech plays a leading role in modern scientific and practical research, and the question of the mechanisms of the formation of grammatical patterns of language of children having general speech underdevelopment and the development of recommendations for speech therapy effects on this basis is especially relevant. Taking this factor into consideration, it is important to study the characteristics of inflection skills of preschoolers with a general speech disorders, as one of the categories of the grammatical structure. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of inflection skills of preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment. In accordance with the purpose, the course of the study is described, its results are analyzed, and conclusions are formulated. Accordingly, recommendations for speech therapy have been developed.Materials and methods. The study of the features of inflection skills of preschoolers with a general underdevelopment of speech was carried out in several stages. At the stage of analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparison of scientific literature data, the main theoretical and practical works of leading specialists were studied, dealing with the problem of formation and development of inflection skills in both normal and impaired speech development process. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment, preschoolers were offered a test aimed at determining the level of formation of inflection skills. At the final stage, empirical methods for processing empirical data (quantitative and qualitative analysis) were used.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the inflection skills  of preschool children with general speech disorders are mainly formed at a lower-than-average level, while their peers with normal speech development are formed at a high level. The hypothesis of the study, which suggested that the word-modification skills of preschoolers with General speech disorders, in contrast to preschoolers with normal speech development, are characterized by inconsistencies in gender, number, case of nouns and adjectives, errors in the use of forms of number and gender of verbs, was confirmed.Discussion and Conclusions. Taking into consideration the results of the study, we concluded that there is a need for speech therapy to compensate for the underdevelopment of inflection skills, as a result, logopedic recommendations were developed for developing inflection skills of preschool children with general speech disorders, which are part of a comprehensive speech therapy on the development of oral speech.

Представлено исследование становления связной речи детей дошкольного возраста с нормой и нарушениями речевого развития. Проанализированы концепции ведущих отечественных ученых относительно изучения особенностей речевого развития у детей с общим недоразвитием речи. В рамках данной проблемы актуальным является рассмотрение вопросов формирования навыков самостоятельного построения рассказа у старших дошкольников с нормой и нарушениями речевого развития. Это связано с тем, что овладение рассказыванием представляет собой качественный переход на абсолютно новый уровень речемыслительной деятельности, что имеет значение в общем психическом развитии ребенка. Обосновывается мысль о том, что дошкольный возраст является благоприятным для интенсивного развития монологической речи, связного высказывания. Дошкольники в полной мере усваивают навыки владения семантическим, синтаксическим и морфологическим строем родного языка. Рассматриваются и обобщаются особенности речевого развития детей дошкольного возраста с общим недоразвитием речи. Приводятся эмпирические данные относительно ошибок в освоении детьми дошкольного возраста навыков самостоятельного построения рассказа. Достоверность результатов обоснована сравнительным анализом особенностей формирования построения рассказа детьми дошкольного возраста с общим недоразвитием речи и нормой речевого развития. С помощью сравнительного анализа выявляются словарные, грамматические, синтаксические затруднения детей дошкольного возраста в построении связного высказывания. Обосновывается необходимость разработки рекомендаций по коррекции особенностей самостоятельного составления рассказа у старших дошкольников с общим недоразвитием речи. This article is devoted to the study of the formation of coherent speech of preschool children with normal and impaired speech development. The article analyzes the concept of the leading Russian scientists to study the features of speech development in children with general underdevelopment of speech. Within the framework of this problem, it is urgent to consider the issues of formation of an independent construction of a story in older preschoolers with the norm and disorders of speech development. This is due to the fact that the mastery of storytelling is a qualitative transition to a completely new level of verbal activity of a child, which is important in the overall mental development of a child. The idea that preschool age is favorable for intensive development of monological speech and coherent utterance is substantiated. Preschoolers fully learn the skills of semantic, syntactic and morphological structure of the native language. The article discusses and summarizes the features of speech development of preschool children with General underdevelopment of speech. The article presents empirical data on the errors in the development of independent storytelling in preschool children. The reliability of the results is substantiated by the comparative analysis of the peculiarities of formation of the plot of preschoolers with general underdevelopment of speech and normal speech development. On the basis of the comparative analysis, vocabulary, grammar and syntactic difficulties of preschool children in construction of the coherent statement are revealed. In conclusion, on the basis of the above conclusions, the need to develop recommendations for correcting the features of self-compilation of a story among older preschoolers with general underdevelopment of speech is justified.

Purpose: This study explored the use of assessment tasks to examine underlying phonological representations in preschool children with speech impairment. The study also investigated the association between performance on phonological representation tasks and phonological awareness development. Method: The performance of 9 children (aged 3;09 [years;months] to 5;03) with moderate or severe speech impairment and 17 children of the same age with typical speech development was investigated on a range of novel receptive-based assessment tasks designed to tap underlying phonological representations. Results: Preschool children with speech impairment experienced more difficulty judging correct and incorrect speech productions of familiar multisyllable words and showed inferior performance in the ability to learn nonwords as compared to children without speech impairment. Performance on these tasks was moderately correlated with phonological awareness ability. Clinical Implications: Factors such as the precision and accessibility of underlying phonological representations of spoken words may contribute to problems in phonological awareness and subsequent reading development for young children with speech impairment. Receptive-based assessments that examine underlying phonological representations provide clinically relevant information for children with speech impairment.

Introduction. Today, one of the main requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Preschool Education is to ensure the speech development in children, which means mastering them of free, coherent dialogue and monologic speech skills as a means of communication with adults and peers. The indicators of successful speech development are skills to build different types of coherent statements. This requirement fully applies to children with minor speech delays. However, in modern speech therapy, the development of coherent speech is made dependent on the elimination of the shortcomings of unformed language structures and involves the use of reproductive techniques, including mainly constant repetitions of speech patterns. Children are simply asked to copy stereotypical schemes when making their own statements, but the attention is not paid to the process of formulating rules and peculiarities of description texts, the understanding of which is very important to be prepared for school. Thus, it is significantly important to revise well-established techniques to learn oral monologue speech when teaching children with serious speech disorders.The aim of the present article is to discuss the conditions for effective development of coherent descriptive speech in preschool children with speech underdevelopment problems.Methodology and research methods. The methodological framework of the research is based on the theory of speech activity and the theory of developmental education, as well as the systematic analysis of the peculiarities of verbal communication skills in children and modern ideas of correctional pedagogy about the structure of speech defects. In the course of the research, empirical research methods and a pedagogical experiment were employed.Results and scientific novelty. Children aged 5–6 years old (n = 60) with the logopedic report “general underdevelopment of speech of the 3 rd –4 th levels” took part in the experimental research. It was proved that it is necessary to teach preschool children with speech disorders not only to speak by analogy and model structures, but also to formulate detailed meaningful descriptive statements. The entry test demonstrated that most respondents have insufficient formation of coherent descriptive speech: 40% – medium level, 38% – low level. More than half of preschool children in the experimental group (53,6%) improved their results through the targeted and comprehensive correctional work, in the course of which they learned practical description skills. While working on description skills, children learned how to highlight and compare essential features of a subject, to combine individual phrases into a consistent message. The priority areas were identified in each speech task to ensure the greatest impact of its performance. The conducted classes influenced not only speech, but also cognitive development of children. Also, the classes stimulated children’s speech and thought activities, contributed to the activation of visual, auditory and tactile perception, memory, attention and observation.Practical significance. The research materials provide a new direction to determine the technologies for the development of coherent speech in children of senior preschool age with speech underdevelopment.

Communication, complex multidimensional education, begins its active development directly in preschool age. With the correct and timely development of communication, cognitive processes, emotional-volitional and motivational-need spheres, behavior, and the interpersonal status of the child are formed. The formation of communication skills is possible only with the timely full development of speech. The lower the state of speech, the more difficult it is for the child to organize and implement communication, and vice versa, the higher the level of formation of the communicative act, the more fully expressive speech develops. Difficulties in forming speech and communication affect self-esteem. Self-esteem as a phenomenon develops under the influence of the assessment of others. Self-esteem is the result of one's own activity, communication, behavior, activities, experiences of a preschooler. The inability of a preschooler to implement verbal communication in a peer group leads to deformations in the development of personality and interpersonal interaction, reduces his social status, and leads to his isolation from other members of the team. Summarizing the above, we have set a goal – to study the relationship between indicators of communication, selfesteem and interpersonal status in preschool children. The main research method is the contrast group method. Empirical study was carried out in groups of preschoolers – with normal speech development and with speech disorders («General speech underdevelopment (GSU) level III» according to R. Levina's classification). The results of the study showed that the level of communication formation in the group of preschoolers with speech disorders is lower than inthe group of children with normal speech development. The lag in the formation of communication skills is represented by a number of indicators: «interest in a peer», «sensitivity», «prosocial actions», «means of communication», «active speech». Low self-esteem was found only in the group of children with speech impairments. There were no differences in the level of the sociometric status between children of both groups.

Introduction. Speech disorders are currently observed in an average of 30 % of children of the fi rst grade of school. It means that objectively during the preschool period, one third of the entire population of children have speech function that does not reach the norm and requires additional correction by specialists. In recent years birth injury has been considered one of the possible reasons for the high frequency of speech disorders. As practice shows, the possibilities of drug therapy for children with speech disorders are very limited. That is why it is relevant to expand non-drug methods for the restoration of speech functions. The goal of research — to justify the use of osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in order to improve sound pronunciation in preschool children.Materials and methods. In the period from 2012 to 2018, a prospective controlled randomized study was performed on the basis of Tyumen Institute of Manual Medicine. The work is based on the results of examination and treatment of 98 preschool children with delayed speech development. 18 people were excluded from the study in accordance with exclusion criteria. Depending on the treatment method used, all patients were divided by simple randomization using the envelope method into two comparable groups (main and control) of 40 people. Patients of both groups underwent a complete speech therapy correction and training course, which included individual lessons. Patients of the main group underwent the same speech therapy, as well as the osteopathic treatment in accordance with the developed algorithm. All patients underwent osteopathic examination and a combined assessment of the severity of speech disorders before and after the treatment.Results. The study showed that the presence of global, regional and local somatic dysfunctions was typical for children of preschool age with a delay in speech development. Somatic dysfunctions of head, neck and thoracic regions were most often observed. In the course of the treatment, patients of the main group showed a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of detection of somatic dysfunctions of head, neck, and thoracic regions, of local somatic dysfunctions of the cranial sutures and the thoracoabdominal diaphragm (p<0,05). In patients of the control group, there was no statistically significant decrease in the number of somatic dysfunctions. In children with impaired speech development who underwent complex therapy, which included osteopathic correction and individual lessons with a speech therapist, there was a significant decrease in the severity of speech disorders compared with patients of the control group (p<0,00001).Conclusion. Osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions (with a certain sequence of techniques aimed to treat connective tissue disorders, including decompression, elimination of edema and hypoxia in children with delayed speech development), allows to achieve a statistically signifi cant improvement in children′s condition compared with standard treatment.

The article discusses the problem of the formation of speech breathing in preschool children with an erased form of dysarthria using the biological feedback method. In children suffering from speech impairment, the work of the respiratory system is not normal. Disorders of prosody supplement violations of the sound-producing side of speech. As a result, in children, including the ones with dysarthria, speech becomes unclear and slurred. The theoretical part of the study considers the specificity of the prosodic side of speech in children with an erased form of dysarthria from the point of view of various researchers. The problem of dependence between the prosodic side of speech and the severity of a speech defect is considered. The practical part of the study reveals the content of the organisation of the empirical study on the formation of diaphragmatic relaxation breathing using a hardware-diagnostic complex “BF” (Biological Feedback). It has been established that the biological feedback method contributes to the formation of diaphragmatic-relaxation breathing in preschool children with an erased form of dysarthria. In pre-schoolers, suffering from erased dysarthria and having a history of attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome, the process of formation of diaphragmatic relaxation breathing becomes more complicated.

The research featured senior preschoolers with phonetic-phonemic speech underdevelopment. The authors described the peculiarities of speech development in such children and analyzed related publications. As a rule, impaired sound pronunciation includes low tempo and weak voluntary regulation. The study featured substitutions, distortion, or absence of various sounds. The authors tested a set of measures aimed at correcting speech disorders in senior preschool children with phonetic-phonemic speech underdevelopment. The experiment revealed a combination of incorrect pronunciation with sounds that were partially consistent in a certain context. Cognitive parameters included difficulties in memorizing verbal information and poor auditory memory. The subjects failed active speech tests and could not remember oral information. The article also introduces data on the specifics of speech therapy of phonemic hearing.

The article presents a description of a differentiated approach in the development of the content of individual speech therapy support for preschool children with autism spectrum disorders. The need to develop individualized routes of speech therapy support is due to the heterogeneity of this category of children. Taking into account the initial state of speech development contributed to the formation of speech skills available at this stage of development and possible for each group of autistic children. The use of such an approach in correctional practice made it possible to obtain qualitatively new positive results: in children with mutism, the possibilities of understanding addressed speech and the formation of non-verbal communication skills have significantly expanded; children with echola-personal speech not only improved their understanding of speech, but also the number of echolalia decreased, skills of spontaneous phrasal speech appeared; children with an automonologist mastered the skills of spontaneous detailed speech in dialogical and monologic forms.

The article reveals the features of the use of correctional and developmental massage in the work of a speech therapist with preschoolers. Teachers have a need for new studies of speech development of preschoolers and the use of new pedagogical tech- nologies. The urgency and importance of the issue served as the basis for the development of a system of speech therapy technology for the use of developing massage in speech therapy practice. On the basis of the studied methodological literature, the author has developed five blocks of complexes of games and exercises for developmental massage. At the beginning and at the end of the work, preschoolers were diagnosed, which made it possible to see that the developmental massage complexes created by the author allow correcting speech disorders effectively.
