Model of Logopedic Work on the Formation of the Syllable Structure of Words of Preschool Children With Severe Speech Disorders

Abstract

The article presents a model of speech therapy work on the formation of the syllable structure of words in preschool children with severe speech disorders. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the problem of the syllable structure of words in preschool children with severe speech disorders (mo- tor alalia and general speech underdevelopment), this is very important, as for correctional work it is important not only to determine those syllabic classes that are formed in the child, but also to identify those that need to be formed. It also emphasizes the importance for a speech therapist to correctly de- termine the type of violation of the syllabic structure of a word. As a rule, the range of these violations varies widely: from minor difficulties in pronunciation of words of complex syllable structure to gross violations. On the basis of large statistical material and the authors’ own practical experience, speech therapy work, it is shown that the correction of the syllable structure of a word is one of the priority and most difficult tasks in working with preschoolers with systemic speech disorders. The authors describe the correctional work carried out by the authors on the basis of the regional psychological, medical and pedagogical consultation and the educational and methodological center under the Association of Social Workers and Volunteers (The East Kazakhstan region). A step-by-step structure of work on the formation of the syllable structure of words in children of this category is given. The authors’ attention is focused mainly on the practical work of a speech therapist on this issue. The authors consistently prove that the correction and development of children with severe speech impairments depend on a well-built model of correctional and developmental work.
