Speech therapy assistance to special children - correctional classes with children who have speech impairments against the background of other developmental disorders: oligophrenia, autism, hearing loss, etc. These children, as a rule, have systemic speech underdevelopment, therefore work is being done on the development of all speech components and higher mental functions. The individual strategy depends on the primary defect and concomitant speech pathology. The specificity of speech therapy work with children with special educational needs lies in the use of intact analyzers, repeated repetition of speech material, a longer consolidation of speech skills, and taking into account the child's capabilities.
