PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF EFFECTIVE CORRECTIVE WORK WITH CHILDREN OF ELDERLY PRESCHOOL AGE WITH GENERAL SPEECH UNDERDEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article presents theoretical and practical aspects of organizing effective corrective work with senior preschool children who have general speech underdevelopment. The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing prevalence of speech disorders among preschool children and the urgent need to create optimal pedagogical conditions for overcoming these difficulties. The concept of “pedagogical conditions” is defined as a set of specially organized psychological and pedagogical influences that ensure the effectiveness of speech therapy support. It has been established that the efficiency of corrective intervention largely depends on the individualization of the learning process, adherence to the principles of consistency and gradualness, and the creation of a language-rich environment that stimulates communication. The article substantiates the use of interactive methods that increase children’s motivation for speech activity, promote feedback, and form selfcorrection skills. The importance of an emotionally supportive microclimate during classes is highlighted as a factor in reducing anxiety and increasing the child’s confidence. Special attention is paid to cooperation among the speech therapist, educator, psychologist and parents in the implementation of individual speech development programs. The article emphasizes the role of creating a speech-friendly environment in preschool institutions, using digital tools and organizing small-group sessions. Methodological approaches to correcting phonemic, lexical-grammatical, and communicative speech disorders are analyzed in detail. It is concluded that scientifically substantiated pedagogical conditions ensure the success of speech correction and contribute to the harmonious development of the child’s personality. Future research should focus on developing adaptive models of speech therapy in inclusive educational settings, exploring the impact of modern technologies on the speech development of children with GSU, and improving the interdisciplinary approach to supporting children with speech impairments.
