Why do you need a speech therapist at school?

Recommendations for parents of primary school students

Logopedics Is the science of speech disorders, of methods for preventing them, identifying and eliminating them by means of special training and education. Speech therapy studies the causes, mechanisms, symptoms, course, structure of speech disorders, and the system of corrective action.
The work of a school speech therapist differs significantly from the work of a speech therapist in a kindergarten and clinic. The school speech therapist is engaged in the correction of not only oral, but also written speech, i.e. works on specific (speech therapy) errors in reading and writing.
The main areas of work of a speech therapist at school are the correction of reading and writing disorders, as well as the prevention of these disorders. Reading and writing disorders (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, promotes 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 center are:

• correction of disturbances in the development of oral and written speech of students;
• timely warning and overcoming difficulties in students mastering general education programs;
• explanation of special knowledge in speech therapy among teachers, parents (legal representatives) of students.

Logo Point Formation:

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

Organization of the logopoint:

Classes with trainees are given both individually and in a group The main form is group classes Classes with trainees at the speech therapy centre are held outside school hours, taking into account the general education institution's operating hours.
The duration of the group lesson is 40 minutes, the duration of an individual speech therapy session with a child depends on the age of the child, his 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 a speech therapy room.
For individual sessions with a speech therapist, you will need:
- checkered notebook (48 sheets) cover Notebook - Basic kind of "document" for speech therapist - child - parent interaction The notebook will record the results of the classes, the material studied in the class, and homework, as the notebook will be worked with by the child;
- Medium Size Desk Mirror, so that the child can see his articulation and articulation as a speech therapist;
-  handkerchief (disposable handkerchiefs);
-  colored pencils.
The speech therapist teacher provides advisory assistance to teachers of the 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 are classes with a speech therapist needed?

Speech therapist is a qualified specialist who detects sound pronunciation disorders in speech and corrects them.
Parents cannot always hear all the defects in their child's speech. The speech therapist helps parents understand how to properly shape their children's speech, explains and shows them what speech therapy work consists of, explains the need to complete homework, and consolidate what they have achieved in classes at home.
Many parents think that a child's speech will correct itself as they age, but this is not the case, the older the child gets, the more difficult it is to correct speech deficiencies. There is no need to hope that all shortcomings will correct themselves.
You are responsible for the fate of your child, do not be afraid to contact a specialist again! Timely assistance will save your nerves and help your child feel more confident.
People with speech impairments often develop inferiority complexes.Inferiority complex is sometimes also a subconscious cause of speech defects. Therefore, at the first signs of impairments in your child's speech, it is necessary to immediately contact a qualified specialist - speech therapist. A speech therapist will not only "put" sounds and introduce them into speech, but will also develop the child's attention, visual and auditory perception (recognition and discrimination), memory, thinking, enrichment of vocabulary, 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 this, since it becomes fixed and becomes a habit. Also, there is a mistaken opinion that a speech therapist must be consulted after 5 years. But this can only be if by the age of 5 years only 1-2 sounds remain unformed (or disturbed) in the child’s speech (more often the sounds [P], [P], [L], less often [W], [W], [H]), and all other aspects of speech are developed in accordance with age. Unfortunately, most speech disorders cannot be self-corrected (independently corrected).
Any deviation from the norm requires prompt consultation with a specialist. The sooner a defect is identified, 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. The speech therapist works to develop the child's speech, performs articulatory gymnastics, shows parents the correctness of performing it on themselves or the child. Parents should listen carefully to the speech therapist's recommendations and complete all tasks that he sets at home.
The closer the speech therapist interacts with parents, the faster and better the result will be in the child.
