Why and why is a speech therapy center needed in kindergarten?

The child has not yet been born, but his speech is gradually beginning to develop. At birth, this process accelerates sharply. Long before the appearance of the first word, the formation of the entire speech system occurs. And the main role in speech development, first of all, belongs to parents. It is very important to notice delays and disturbances in speech development in time.

Disturbances in the sound culture of speech that arose in preschool age can subsequently lead to a number of secondary speech disorders: underdevelopment of phonemic hearing, delayed formation of skills in sound, syllabic and letter analysis of words, impoverishment of the child’s vocabulary, violation of the grammatical structure of native speech. Any speech disorder to one degree or another can affect the activity and behavior of the child as a whole. Therefore, it is so important to take care of the timely development of children’s speech and pay attention to its purity and correctness.

Speech is the path to communication, new impressions and life experiences, the path to expanding ideas about the world around him.

So, I return to the question posed at the beginning: why and why do we need a teacher - a speech therapist in kindergarten?

For what? Examine pupils of a preschool educational institution to identify children in need of speech therapy help.

For what? Organize timely speech therapy assistance to prevent and overcome specific errors in oral and written speech. After all, it is known that the earlier correctional assistance begins, the more effective it is.

Speech therapy center (abbreviated as “Logopunkt”)

This is a place where assistance is provided to children with speech disorders without transferring the child to another (specialized) group.

What kind of children are taken to the speech center?

Not all children in a regular kindergarten are taken to speech therapy centers, but only those most in need of help. There is a priority depending on the severity of the speech disorder. First of all, children 6 years old are enrolled in the speech therapy center, and they will go to school in a year. That is, the guys from the preparatory group. And also those who did not complete classes with a speech therapist last year. Some of the children in the older group are enrolled in the remaining places. All others who need help from a speech therapist are put on a waiting list. Younger children from the middle group can receive speech therapy help only in the form of consultations at a specially designated time. In our kindergarten it is Monday, from 16-30 to 18-00.

Children with what diagnosis (speech therapy report) are enrolled in the Logopunkt?

Most often, children are admitted with the following speech therapy findings:

  • violation of the pronunciation of individual sounds (in children with dyslalia, dysarthria or an erased form of dysarthria) - FNR
  • phonetic-phonemic underdevelopment of speech (in children with dyslalia, dysarthria or an erased form of dysarthria) - FFSD
  • general speech underdevelopment - GSD - the third level of speech development in children with dysarthria or an erased form of dysarthria.

In what mode are classes held at Logopunkt?

The best effect, of course, comes from individual lessons. The frequency and duration of classes with your child are determined by a speech therapist depending on the severity of the speech disorder, the age of the child and his psychophysical characteristics. Typically, individual sessions at a speech center last from 15 to 25 minutes. The goal of individual speech therapy classes is the correction of sound pronunciation and the development of phonemic processes.

How many children are enrolled in Logopunkt?

The number of children attending a speech therapy center at the same time should not exceed 20 people. Since speech therapy assistance is required by a large number of children with different types of speech diagnoses, the time frame for working with each child can vary greatly (from 3 to 9-12 months). Therefore, children are removed from the speech center in kindergarten not as a whole group, but individually, as the speech disorder is corrected. Another child on the waiting list is immediately enrolled in the vacant seat. Thus, the logo point in kindergarten is an open and mobile system. It is very difficult for a speech therapist to solve the problem of completely correcting the speech of children alone. Therefore, he intensively involves both parents and kindergarten specialists in his work.

To successfully correct children's speech, the help of parents is simply necessary! They must follow all the recommendations of the speech therapist, regularly attend consultations with a specialist, and complete homework, which is given once a week. And, of course, close monitoring of the child’s speech is necessary on the part of parents.

The speech therapist works in the following areas:

  • general correctional development;
  • development of mobility of the articulatory apparatus;
  • work on coherent speech;
  • breathing exercises;
  • production of sounds;
  • elimination of agrammatism in speech;
  • development of children's auditory attention;
  • development of fine motor skills of fingers in children;
  • timely prevention of various disorders of oral and written speech in preschool children.

As practice has shown, each teacher chooses the most convenient option for designing a journal for examining oral and written speech. An alternative to such a log are various kinds of protocols.

The protocols for examining students’ oral and written speech are distinguished by their simplicity of design and completeness of information. Their purpose is to show the presence of a speech defect. The speech therapy examination protocol contains material on the basis of which the speech therapist makes an initial conclusion. An example of filling out a speech therapy examination protocol is given on p. 28.

7. Passport of the speech therapy office

Compiled by a speech therapist and contains information about:

The condition of the office is in accordance with regulatory and hygienic standards;

The location of the office in the building and the possibility of combining it with other school specialists (psychologist, social teacher, etc.);

Availability of furniture in the office;

Availability of necessary benefits (card index);

Availability of methodological literature;

Availability of other equipment (probes, couch and massage instruments, etc.).

This document is certified by the school director and kept by the speech therapist. In the course of work, the speech therapist can supplement or make changes to the list of available benefits.

8. Attendance log for frontal and individual classes

A speech therapist can use a school journal, a journal for extracurricular activities, or a specially designed journal as a log of attendance at frontal and individual classes.

The main purpose of this document is to record the attendance of classes (individual or group) by each child and the occupancy of front classes in each group. The design of the attendance register is based on the requirements for filling out the class register (without assessing student knowledge). This document, along with other documentation of the educational institution, is a financial document and is verified by the administration of the educational institution.

Despite the fact that a speech therapist is an employee of an educational institution and his classes have some similarities with Russian language lessons, there are significant differences in the design of class topics. Formulations such as “Unstressed vowels”, “Nominative case of nouns”, “Use of double consonants”, “Test work on the topic...”, etc. There should not be a speech therapist’s journal, since the above topics are not correctional. Classes on similar topics are taught to students by Russian language teachers or primary school teachers. To avoid this kind of mistakes, it is preferable for a speech therapist to define the topic of the lesson as follows: “Practical use of nouns in the form;... case”, “Vowel sounds and letters”, “Syllabic analysis of two-syllable words”, “Differentiation of letters...”, etc. d.

9. Speech therapist’s working hours. Working time cyclogram

The work schedule of a speech therapist teacher is drawn up in accordance with the number of hours determined in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 3, 2003 No. 191 “On the duration of working hours of teaching staff in educational institutions.” The work schedule is certified by the school director. An example of a completed schedule is given on p. 43.

The cyclogram of the speech therapist’s working hours is compiled on the basis of the work schedule and reveals the content of each working day of the specialist. Its purpose is to determine the development of working hours and adherence to scheduled moments. The cyclogram reflects the following information:

Number of groups studying at the speech center;

The number of frontal and individual lessons conducted by a speech therapist per week;

Frequency of classes with a specific group or child;

Duration of classes and breaks between them.

It must be remembered that the main task of a speech therapist in school is to eliminate writing and reading disorders or to prevent them. Thus, most of the time is allocated to group work to correct the above violations. For example, out of 25 children enrolled in a speech center, 6-7 people attend classes to correct the pronunciation aspect of speech, and the rest (18-19) need correction of written speech.

Below is an example of a speech therapist’s work schedule and a cyclogram of working hours.
