CORRECTION OF SPEECH DEFECTS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

Speech is the most important mental function inherent only in humans. Speech is not an innate ability, but develops in the process of ontogenesis (the individual development of the organism from the moment of its inception to the end of life) in parallel with the physical and mental development of the child and serves as an indicator of his general development. The full-fledged harmonious development of a child is impossible without the education of his correct speech. Such speech should not only be correctly formed in terms of the choice of words (vocabulary), grammar (word formation, inflection), but clear and flawless in terms of sound pronunciation. Mastering the correct pronunciation of speech sounds is one of the very important links in the development of a child's speech
