THE IMPACT OF SPEECH THERAPY SESSIONS ON SPEECH DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This article provides a profound and comprehensive scientific analysis of the impact of speech therapy sessions on speech development in children. Through a literature review, research methodology, detailed analysis, and results, the paper explores the influence of speech therapy interventions on phonetic, lexical-grammatical, speech fluency, and communicative skill development. Based on empirical studies from Uzbekistan and abroad, it is confirmed that speech therapy sessions are highly effective in addressing speech defects (articulation disorders, stuttering, speech delay), increasing vocabulary, improving grammatical structure, and accelerating general language development. The findings indicate that speech therapy sessions initiated at an early age (preschool period) significantly enhance children's linguistic progress, yielding even more effective results when combined with individual and group formats, innovative technologies (game therapy, fairy-tale therapy, art therapy, logorhythmics), and family collaboration. The article provides practical recommendations for organizing speech therapy work within the preschool education system.
