“METHODS FOR ELIMINATING STUTTERING IN YOUNG CHILDREN”

Abstract

This article analyzes the problems of stuttering in young children within the field of speech therapy, its etiological pathologies, and the effective speech therapy methods used to eliminate it. Special attention is given to play methods, breathing exercises, and psychological approaches, which are of great importance for improving and correcting children's social adaptation processes. Early diagnosis and correct correctional work for stuttering, especially in preschool children, are crucial for ensuring their future social adaptation, speech development, and academic success. The study analyzes the widespread use of modern technology platforms in contemporary speech therapy for individuals who stutter, incorporating musical rhythm sessions, articulation exercises, and psychocorrectional work. The article also scientifically demonstrates the advantages of speech therapy audio programs and speech practice applications through modern technologies. The research concludes that effective correctional work for stuttering must be carried out not only through speech therapy sessions but also through individual work with stuttering children, separate work with families, and the improvement of social-psychological conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive approach involving a speech therapist, defectologist, educator, and psychologist is necessary when working with children who stutter. Observations have shown that, as a result of early diagnosis and planned correctional work, sessions help in the complete recovery of speech in 70-80% of cases. The most important factors highlighted are the individual approach, planned sessions, and parental support. The key objectives of special pedagogy are extensively reviewed, focusing on the effective correction of stuttering and ensuring the child's healthy, active participation in society through remote sessions, speech therapy games, and digital applications. The article also examines the effective organization of pedagogical processes, positive reinforcement, and individual approaches.
