The relevance of the subject of the article. The article is devoted to the communication of children with speech disorders in an inclusive kindergarten. Staying in the environment of healthy children has a positive effect on socialization and the formation of communication skills in preschoolers with disabilities. But meanwhile, there may be a contradiction between the social conditions of preschool inclusion and the real opportunities for communication in some children. These contradictions affect children with speech disorders. These children, due to speech pathology, are not capable of full communication. Therefore, the problem of communication and socialization in preschoolers with speech disorders should be solved.
Description of the research progress. Studies on age periodization, according to which communication develops between preschoolers who do not have speech pathologies, are analyzed. The author of the article refers to the brain organization of speech and shows its systemic nature from the point of view of the participation of different brain areas. As a theoretical basis, two classifications of speech disorders are given in the article, with the help of which speech pathologies in childhood are studied; in the future, in accordance with this classification, according to the form of speech pathology, work is carried out to eliminate speech defects. The article has an interdisciplinary character and integrates psychology, pedagogy and speech therapy.
Research results. The work on speech correction begins with the diagnostic stage. Diagnostic examination, which establishes the state of active and passive speech in a child, is based on the position on the systemic structure of speech functions. The article shows that speech has a systemic structure – from elementary to the most complex forms. Speech therapy classes have different aims and structure, depending on the correctional focus on a particular speech defect. In addition to speech therapy classes, recommendations are given on the development of etiquette speech and on the formation of communication skills within the framework of a role-playing game and theatricalization.
Conclusion. Working in a kindergarten to restore speech reduces the “risk zone” for socialization. With sufficient communication, children acquire the possibility of full inclusion in the peer environment.
