Consultation progress
- Introductory conversation.
One of the brightest trends in the modernization of education is the provision of state guarantees of accessibility and equal opportunities for children with disabilities to receive a full education. Thus, children with speech development disorders should receive timely and qualified correctional and speech therapy assistance in preschool settings. At the same time, the problem of finding effective ways to correct speech is becoming increasingly important.
Only with close cooperation and unity of the requirements of specialists is it possible to overcome the speech development disorders that children have. Collaboration between a speech therapist and preschool teachers plays a special role in the speech therapy group.

The joint activities of a speech therapist and preschool educators are organized in accordance with the following goals:
- increasing the effectiveness of correctional and speech therapy work;
- rational distribution of speech therapist and educators’ activities during the day to avoid overloading children;
- adequate selection of forms, methods, techniques and means of correctional pedagogical activities of the speech therapist and educators, aimed at both the entire group of children and an individual child.

Educators carry out the tasks of the speech therapist every day, using individual, subgroup and frontal forms of work, as well as routine moments.
Educators should know:
- main directions of the correctional program;
- age-related and individual characteristics of speech formation in preschoolers;
- features of the pronunciation and lexico-grammatical aspects of speech and take into account the speech capabilities of each child in the process of educational and extracurricular activities.
Educators must comply with the conditions for the development of speech activity and verbal communication of children:
- organize and support children’s verbal communication in class and outside of class;
- encourage you to listen carefully to other children;
- develop skills of self-control and critical attitude to speech;
- organize games to develop the sound culture of speech;
- carry out work on the development of auditory and speech attention.
Speech therapy group teachers should not:
- rush the child to answer;
- interrupt speech and rudely pull it back, but should tactfully give an example of correct speech;
- force the child to pronounce a phrase rich in sounds he has not yet identified;
- let memorize texts and poems that the child cannot yet pronounce.
It is recommended to allocate a place in the group for speech therapy classes, the so-called speech therapy corner, in which there should be board-printed games for the formation of the correct air flow, the development of non-speech processes, in the joint activity of an adult with children, in the free independent activity of children.
The speech therapist, together with preschool teachers, designs the parent corner, prepares and conducts parent meetings.
- Conclusion.
Correct, pedagogically justified interaction between educators and a speech therapist, combining their efforts in the interests of speech correction in children, is based on the creation of a friendly, emotionally positive environment in a speech therapy group.
Speech development is decisive in the level of human intelligence and culture. Correct, literate speech shows whether children are ready for school and whether they can successfully master literacy and reading.
Properly planned lessons of the teacher and speech therapist ensure the correct consolidation of the material in various types of children’s activities. Such interaction creates a unified correctional and developmental environment around the child.
The psychological atmosphere in the children's team strengthens children's faith in their own capabilities, allows them to smooth out negative experiences associated with speech impairment, and develop interest in classes.
Properly organized psychological and pedagogical influence of educators in most cases prevents the appearance of persistent unwanted deviations in behavior and forms collective friendly, socially acceptable relationships in the speech therapy group.

Interaction between a speech therapist and a speech therapy group teacher
The success of correctional and developmental work in a speech therapy group is determined by a strict, well-thought-out system, the essence of which is the integration of speech therapy into the educational process of children’s life.
The natural way to implement speech therapy is through the relationship and interaction of a speech therapist and a teacher.
The main task of teachers’ correctional work is to teach children to express their thoughts coherently, consistently, grammatically and phonetically correctly.
The successful implementation of correctional and educational work in a group setting for children with speech impairments presupposes the relationship in the work of the speech therapist and the teacher and, what is extremely important, the correct distribution of responsibilities between them.
The pedagogical process in a speech therapy group is organized in accordance with age needs, functional and individual characteristics, depending on the structure and severity of the defect.
The ultimate goal of the correctional group: education of a humane personality, a comprehensive and harmoniously happy child; social adaptation and integration of the child into the environment of normally developing peers.
The work is structured taking into account age, group profile and individual manifestations of speech defects.

The main directions in the work of a speech therapist and educator
There are two main areas in the work of a teacher and speech therapist:
- correctional and educational
- general education
The teacher, together with the speech therapist, participates in the correction of speech disorders, as well as the processes associated with it, and, in addition, carries out a number of general educational activities provided for by the mass kindergarten program (mental, moral, aesthetic, patriotic, etc.) However, it is necessary to take into account that of the two directions, the first – correctional and educational – is the most significant and leading. And the second - general education - to subordinates.
Corrective work is carried out under the guidance and control of a speech therapist. His leading role is explained by the fact that he knows better the speech and psychological characteristics of children, the degree to which each person lags behind the age norm, and the dynamics of all correctional processes.
The coordinated work of the speech therapist and group educators is based on the following principles:
- the principle of an integrated approach to organizing the correctional pedagogical process
- the principle of unity of diagnosis and direct correctional pedagogical process
- the principle of cooperation between the speech therapist teacher, educators and children
- the principle of taking into account the interests of all participants in the correctional pedagogical process
- the principle of a differentiated approach to speech pathologists in the process of educating them to correct speech
Forms of collaboration
- joint comprehensive thematic planning
- exchange of information, discussion of children's achievements
- personal contacts, conversations
- consulting teachers on the results of diagnostic studies, consulting on personal difficulties (most often these are issues related to correction methods)
- practical seminars, medical and pedagogical advice, open viewings of classes (mutual visits between speech therapist and teacher)
- joint preparation for all children's holidays, maintaining joint documentation (interaction notebooks)
- design of methodological piggy banks, memos, parent corner
The teacher must monitor the child’s speech and correct it not only in his classes, but throughout the entire working day. It is very important that mistakes are corrected correctly by the teacher. You cannot imitate or ridicule, as this can lead to a decrease in speech activity and form in the child a negative attitude towards the teacher and learning in this group.
During classes, mistakes are recorded by the teacher immediately. Instantly and immediately. It is appropriate to use words such as “incorrect”, “incorrect”, “said incorrectly”. During ECD, it is better to involve all children in the group in correcting mistakes in order to form monitoring of the speech of others. If the mistake cannot be corrected by the child himself or a friend, then the teacher must correct the child himself.
