Report

Our children have had successful sessions with a speech and language therapist and we have noticed significant changes in their speech. They began to communicate more freely, expanded their vocabulary, started asking questions and expressing their thoughts more clearly and fully.

Classes with a speech therapist help children to overcome delays in speech development and restore normal functioning of the muscles involved in the formation of speech. It also helps them to successfully participate in communication with other children and adults and to perform their tasks at school.

We are grateful to everyone who supported and helped the children. Your kindness gave them a chance to fully develop and study at a regular school without fear of falling behind in their studies and social adaptation.

About the campaign

7 children from disadvantaged families with delayed speech and language development need to see a speech therapist!

Speech impairment is a pathology manifested by a child's slower rate of speech development than is normal for his or her age group. It is characterised by an insufficient vocabulary, underdevelopment of expressive, phrasal and connected speech.

Without treatment, the child will begin to noticeably lag behind in psycho-verbal development by the age of five. This is due to the fact that it does not communicate with other children and adults, does not ask questions that broaden the horizons. This leads to a permanent speech and intellectual disability, and the child can only be educated in a special remedial school.

Classes with a speech therapist-defectologist using probe and hand massage start the muscles involved in speech, correct stuttering, speech tempo, rhythm, fluency, teach chewing and swallowing. It activates and restores the activity of the articulatory organs and improves the quality of articulation.

By taking part in this collection, you will help 7 children from underprivileged families to attend classes with a speech therapist and a speech pathologist.
