Abstract

The article analyses using specialized knowledge in compre-hensive correctional education with older preschool children with speech disorders. This article examines the theoretical and practical, and methodological foundations of specialized knowledge use in the organization of correctional work in over-coming motor alalia in older preschool children. The research was conducted in 2017-2020, during which a retrospective analysis of outpatient cards of children with speech disorders of various aetiology was performed. The study involved 250 chil-dren aged 5.5-7 years, who were divided into two groups. The experimental group consisted of 150 children with motor alalia (the average age of 5.99 ± 0.75 years), including 57 girls and 93 boys. The control group consisted of 100 children without speech disorders (the average age of 6.18 ± 0.63 years), repre-sented by 48 girls and 52 boys. All children underwent repea-ted outpatient neurological (including instrumental) and logope-dic examinations. The research revealed that organic lesion of the brain affects not only the clinical presentation of nonverbal symptoms but also psychospeech development. According to the results of the experimental research, the expediency of using a comprehensive diagnostic methodology was proved, where the medical component consisted in studying the peculiarities of bioelectrical activity of the brain on electroencephalography.
