Interdisciplinary Approach in Remedial Work on Speech Development for Students with Disabilities

The success of socialization of children with disabilities is determined by a sufficient level of formation of speech activity. Ideas about difficulties in mastering the language and speech abilities of children with developmental disabilities that hinder their successful socialization serve as the basis for optimizing the learning and upbringing process. The purpose of the article is to consider the features of speech development of students with disabilities and determine the main directions of correctional work based on an interdisciplinary approach. The methodological basis of the study was interdisciplinary, systematic, activity-based, complex and individually differentiated, aiming at the development and improvement of speech among students with disabilities. The data obtained from the study of the speech capabilities of children with disabilities of different nosological groups indicated that they had violations of the formation of various components of the language system that affected the process of speech communication necessary for adaptation, integration and socialization. There was the need to create a correctional speech therapy work with an interdisciplinary nature, containing technologies, methods and techniques aimed at developing the speech of students with disabilities. Based on the results of this study, the directions of correctional speech therapy work, i.e., diagnostic and prognostic, software design, organizational and procedural, advisory and educational, were proposed, revealing the specifics of an interdisciplinary approach that allows optimizing the process of speech development of students with sensory, speech disorders, and mental retardation.
