Recommendations for parents of primary school students

Speech therapyIt is the science of speech disorders, methods of their prevention, detection and elimination by means of special training and education. Speech therapy studies the causes, mechanisms, symptoms, course, structure of speech disorders, system of correctional influence.
The work of a school speech therapist is significantly different from the work of a speech therapist in a kindergarten and a clinic. The school speech therapist is engaged in the correction of not only oral, but also written speech, i.e. he works on specific (speech) errors of reading and writing.
The main areas of work of a speech therapist in school are the correction of reading and writing disorders, as well as the prevention of these violations. Disorders of reading and writing (dyslexia and dysgraphia) are the most common forms of speech pathology in younger schoolchildren.
Speech therapy is not an additional educational service, it is an activity that, in parallel with the educational process, contributes to a more accessible and successful mastery of certain categories of students. This is what makes the work of a school speech therapist relevant and in demand.

The main tasks of the speech therapy point:

• correction of violations in the development of oral and written speech of students;
• timely prevention and overcoming difficulties in mastering general education programs by students;
• Explanation of special knowledge on speech therapy among teachers, parents (legal representatives) of students.

Formation of a speech point:

First of all, students who have violations in the development of oral and written language are enrolled in the speech therapy center, preventing their successful mastering of general education programs (children with general, phonetic-phonematic and phonematic underdevelopment of speech).
Enrollment in the speech therapy center is carried out on the basis of a speech examination of students, which is held from 1 to 15 September and from 15 to 30 May.

Organization of the logo-point:

Classes with students are held both individually and in a group. The main form is group classes. Classes with students in the speech therapy center are held outside school hours, taking into account the mode of work of the general educational institution.
The duration of a group lesson is 40 minutes, the duration of an individual speech therapy session with a child depends on the age of the child, its characteristics, ranges from 20 to 45 minutes (in accordance with the requirements of SanPiN). Individual classes with a speech therapist usually take place 2 times a week, in the speech therapy room.
For individual sessions with a speech therapist, you will need:
— notebook(48 sheets) on the cover. Notebook – the main type of “document” for the interaction of speech therapist – child – parent. The notebook will record the results of classes, the material that was studied in the class, as well as homework, since the child will work with the notebook;
medium-sized table mirrorso that the child can see his articulation and speech therapy articulation;
-handkerchief(disposable handkerchiefs);
-Colored pencils.
The teacher-speech therapist provides advice to teachers of a general educational institution and parents (legal representatives) of students in determining the causes of failure and gives recommendations for overcoming them.

Many parents often ask the question:

Why do you need a speech therapist?

Speech therapist is a qualified specialist engaged in identifying violations of sound pronunciation in speech and their correction.
Parents can't always hear all the defects in their child's speech. Speech therapist helps parents understand how to correctly form the speech of children, explains and shows them what speech therapy is, explains the need to perform homework, consolidate what has been achieved at home.
Many parents think that the child’s speech will correct itself, with age, but this is not the case, the older the child becomes, the more difficult it is to correct defects in speech. Do not hope that all the shortcomings will correct themselves.
You are responsible for the fate of your child, do not be afraid to once again consult a specialist! Timely help will save your nerves and help your child feel more confident.
People with speech disorders often develop inferiority complexes. Inferiority complexes are also sometimes a subconscious cause of speech defects. Therefore, at the first signs of violations in your child’s speech, you should immediately contact a qualified specialist – a speech therapist. Speech therapist will not only “put” sounds and introduce them into speech, but will also be engaged in the development of attention, visual and auditory perception (recognition and discrimination), memory, thinking, enrichment of vocabulary, the development of general and fine motor skills. Beautiful correct speech allows the child to feel happy and achieve great success in society.
If you do not correct the child's pronunciation before school, then it is very difficult to do it, since it is fixed and becomes a habit. Also, there is a misconception that a speech therapist should be treated after 5 years. But this can only be if by the age of 5, only 1-2 sounds remain unformed (or disturbed) in the child’s speech (most often sounds [R], [R], [L], less often [S], [F], [F], [Ch]), and all other aspects of speech are developed in accordance with age. Unfortunately, most speech disorders do not lend themselves to self-correction (self-correction).
Any deviation from the norm requires immediate consultation of a specialist. The sooner the defect is detected, the faster and easier it can be corrected.
Only a speech therapist can competently analyze the situation, indicate the need for special classes and give you detailed advice.
An important and integral part of the work to eliminate speech disorders in children is close interaction.Speech therapist and parents.Speech therapist works on the development of the child's speech, performs articulation gymnastics, shows parents the correctness of its implementation on themselves or the child. Parents should carefully listen to the recommendations of the speech therapist and perform all the tasks that he sets at home.
The closer the speech therapist interacts with the parents, the faster and better the result will be in the child.
