Every child wants to get a good education, and children are not to blame if they have any abnormalities in physical or mental formation. A child with certain disabilities in the development of speech also has the right to study at schools, universities and other educational institutions. Of course, such a child will be uncomfortable to deal with children who do not have such deviations. Therefore, there is an adapted program for children with speech impairments, which is made in accordance with all the requirements for such children.
Why is such a program needed?
It was created specifically for children who have impaired speech development. Such a child will not be able to develop normally in an ordinary team, as it has certain features that require a special adapted program for children with speech impairment.
So, a child with some deviations with the help of such a program will be able to feel comfortable and develop to the best of his abilities. After all, ordinary children do not perceive those who are somewhat different in their development. They like to tease these “special” guys, they have no opportunity for self-realization, they cannot find themselves in this life. But they are not to blame for the fact that they were born into the world with such a violation. The adapted program for children with speech impairments becomes a kind of lifeline for such children. According to statistics, most of the children get rid of their lack and continue to study already in ordinary schools and universities.
What does an adapted program include?
An adapted program for children with speech impairments of preschool age has been created for institutions that specialize in raising children with disabilities. The purpose of this program is to develop all the abilities of a child who has deviations in the development of speech, together with specialists. Such training is aimed at aligning speech as best as possible and avoiding mental trauma. Despite their “peculiarities,” children should receive a good education in all areas of life: learning to write, read and count.
But the main objective of such a program is to master the child's connected speech in order to be able to continue to study in ordinary schools in the future and not have problems with education. An adapted program for children with speech impairments is effective only if there are no other developmental disabilities. This complex is designed only to solve problems with speech development.
Program features
The adapted program for children with speech impairments in the Kindergarten has a number of its own characteristics. For example, in such cases there is close contact with parents. If in ordinary kindergartens or other preschool institutions it was possible to bring a child in the morning and pick up in the evening, then in this case it is impossible. Parents must sometimes attend classes to support their baby. It is also necessary to conduct classes at home to speed up the whole process.
In the classroom there are a number of specialists who find an approach to each child and try to approach a specific problem individually. After all, everyone has different speech disorders: someone has worse or better. Also at the lessons, children are prepared for teamwork in order to be sociable in the classroom and find a common language with their classmates.
