THERAPEUTIC AND DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACHES FOR EARLY LEARNERS WITH SIGNIFICANT SPEECH IMPAIRMENTS

The study's relevance is due to the need to improve correctional and developmental work with primary schoolchildren with severe speech impairments in inclusive education. The integration of digital technologies into the learning process of such children opens up new opportunities for their speech, cognitive and social development. The study aims to investigate the impact of modern innovative methods on developing speech skills in children with severe speech impairments. The research methodology is based on an integrated approach that includes a theoretical analysis of the literature, empirical observations, a pedagogical experiment and statistical data processing. The results have shown that using digital tools such as Speech Blubs and Articulation Station significantly increases the effectiveness of correctional work with children. Using innovative platforms helps to improve pronunciation, expand vocabulary and form the grammatical structure of speech. The study's practical significance lies in developing recommendations for teachers and speech therapists on adapting digital technologies to the needs of students with speech disorders. The proposed approaches enable enhancing the quality of education and the successful socialisation of children in the general education environment. The study's results can be implemented by adapting educational programmes, providing teacher training in a professional setting, and implementing inclusive education.
