Everyone can develop speech: the best speech therapy books for parents

Why does the speech “not work”?

Normally, by the beginning of the second year of life, the child already begins to speak in simple words and has 10-20 words in his vocabulary. By the age of three, this number increases to 3 thousand, and by school age (7 years) speech has almost reached the speech of an adult in its development. In theory, everything is simple, but in practice, parents are constantly faced with various deviations from these norms. What could be the reason? Let's look at the most common of them:

• fetal asphyxia during obstetrics;
• diseases suffered by the mother during pregnancy;
• conditions of the social environment - inattention to the development of the child’s speech, “lisping”, bilingualism in the family, a state of stress or fear.

In other words, the problem can be hidden anywhere. The good news is that the percentage of influence of various maternal diseases during the perinatal period is actually quite small, the same applies to congenital genetic diseases that interfere with the development of speech. So most of the speech therapy questions and tasks arise as a result of the social factor. This does not eliminate the need to promptly contact specialists, including medical ones, in order to completely eliminate physical problems. In general, if you have any problem or difficulty, it is better to maintain contact with relevant specialists - it is better to pay more attention and waste it than to pay less attention and then not be able to fix anything.

general characteristics

works within the framework of the “Speech Therapist Plus” project and is listed as an autonomous non-profit organization of additional professional education. This institution was created on the basis of the Moscow speech, known in the 80–90s of the last century. In its current form, the educational institution has been operating since 2008 and has a valid license for educational activities.

The center's teachers help speech therapists from many Russian cities improve their skills. The training is conducted using patented proprietary methods, so students receive first-hand expert advice. Every year the institution holds more than 200 events designed for large audiences.

“Speech therapist master” works not only with specialists who want to gain experience. Some seminars and master classes are intended for parents of children with speech impairments, and the information in such classes is presented in a form accessible to the widest range of listeners. Again, for parents, the center’s staff created a series of educational films, “Mom’s School,” which will be useful to everyone who cares about the development of their own child.

The center's teachers conduct individual correctional classes with children and adults, successfully treat stuttering and correct other speech disorders. If necessary, a specialist can come to your home or consult via Skype.

The organization’s website has a lot of information for self-study: methodological materials for speech therapists, articles for specialists and parents, a list of additional literature. As part of the “Speech Therapy for Dummies” project, all visitors to the site have access to a complex of articulatory gymnastics - universal exercises for the lips and tongue that a child can perform at home under the guidance of adults.

What to do?

When parents notice something that does not correspond to the norms, they begin to intensively look for a solution to the problem, some evidence of a violation or, conversely, evidence of the correct order of things. This is how the first meeting takes place with a speech therapist, who is approached with the question of how to improve the child’s speech. There may be several violations:

• incorrect pronunciation of sounds;
• “swallowing” part of a word;
• incorrect construction of words and phrases (rearrangement of sounds and syllables);
• the impossibility of meaningful transmission of information through speech.

These are the most common difficulties that children have when developing speech, and an experienced specialist will make every effort to correct the situation. But we should not forget that the participation of parents is very important in everything that happens to the child - neither the child nor the speech therapist can cope without their help.

What is the role of parents in this process? She's colossal. It is on the speech of the adults who surround the baby that his ability to assimilate information and the possibility of competently delivered and coherent speech depend. What can parents do?

• Clearly and distinctly pronounce one’s own actions, surrounding objects, etc.;
• Gently but constantly correct the child’s mistakes;
• Conduct playful activities with your child, teaching correct speech;
• Minimize stress, fear and negative feelings.

But these are the most basic, “external” factors. The structure of home activities and their methods play no less role. Let's take a closer look.

Features of home activities

As you know, this development directly depends on the forces exerted by parents on the development of the child. However, as in any other matter, it is very important not to overdo it, and for this it is important to remember about the age norms of development and the relationships in it.

So, 1 year - the child begins to speak. It is very important at this moment to replace the simple “bibika”, “yum-yum” and so on with adult words - “car”, “food”, etc. At this age, children very quickly absorb surrounding information, and even if speech is still far away from articulateness and intelligibility, then all words and word forms pronounced by others are firmly deposited in the brain.

By the age of 3, a child’s vocabulary increases, as does his speech capabilities. You can use more complex structures; it is extremely important to monitor the purity of your own speech. At this age, you can begin classes for better development - learning letters, making sounds. Exercises from articulatory gymnastics and finger games are well suited for these purposes (the development of fine motor skills has a positive effect on the development of the brain, which also has a good effect on the development of speech).

With regular lessons, by the age of 6, the child will have an impressive vocabulary, well-spoken speech and the ability to express complex structures.

An important feature is that at the age of 3 there is a developmental crisis of “I myself”, and it is very important to interest the child in activities. In addition, the classes themselves should be held in a fun way - in the form of stories, adventures, fairy tales, and the child’s involvement in them should be significant. At the same time, an adult must demonstrate by his own example an interest in what is happening; children more often agree to do something together with adults, rather than alone.

One more nuance - in no case should you make developmental activities look like a school with its lessons. Small children are physically unable to concentrate their attention for more than 5 minutes on the same object, even if they really need to. Try to select moments when the baby is most calm and ready to receive. Try not to put pressure or force - the best option would be if the child himself offers to work out. Do not reject his desires - this way you will form a useful habit and maintain interest in these actions.

But here the question arises: what kind of literature should be used to develop speech and present it correctly?
