Abstract:
This article analyzes the role and importance of the communication component of a speech therapist
with children with developmental disabilities in pedagogical activity. In the field of speech therapy, establishing
effective communication with children with developmental disabilities is of great importance in supporting their
speech and language development. The components of a speech therapist's communication - verbal and non-
verbal methods, emotional support and individual approaches - are the main tools in the development of
children's speech and social skills. In pedagogical activity, especially the correct and effective organization of
communication leads to noticeable positive results in the development of the child. This work provides detailed
information about the role of a speech therapist in communication, his role in speech development and
approaches to children.

Introduction:
It is very difficult to imagine the
existence, development, formation of a person as a
person, his connection with society without
communication. Communication is the need for people
to work together, their mutual relations, influences,
their joint activity in the exchange of information and
information.
In
the
formation
of
personal
communication, it is necessary to work taking into
account his age, gender, profession, worldview. The
famous psychologist S. L. Rubinstein wrote: “When we
enter into everyday life with people, we focus on their
behavior. Because we critically read their information,
as it were, the essence of their information, that is, we
decipher its essence, and in this way we determine the
content of the text, which contains the internal
psychological aspect, embodied in the context.” Today,
the main tasks facing us are to some extent more
difficult and complex. After all, fulfilling the task facing
us requires a much broader range of knowledge and
thinking in our activities. Today, only a person's inner
desire, personal decision can arouse such a sense of
obligation.
The communication component of a speech therapist
with a child with developmental disabilities has many
aspects as a necessary component in his pedagogical
activity. The task of a speech therapist when working
with such children is not only to develop language and
speech, but also to improve the general psychological
state of the child, to help him adapt to social
communication. The communication component of a
speech therapist is of great importance as a necessary
component in pedagogical activity, because it helps to
improve the child's speech development, social
adaptation and emotional state. The main task of a
speech therapist when working with children with
developmental disabilities is to increase their
communicative abilities, help them express their
thoughts, communicate with others and adapt to the
social environment.
It is very important to take into account the emotional
state of the child in the speech therapist's
communication.
Children
with
developmental
disabilities often feel that they are different from other
children, and this can reduce their self-confidence. The

speech therapist uses positive communication
techniques to ensure emotional stability, make the
child feel confident and comfortable. This helps the
child develop speech activity.
Emotional support is an important component of
pedagogical
activity
aimed
at
understanding,
supporting and stabilizing the child's internal state,
mood, emotions. Children with developmental
disabilities often feel that they are different from
others, in some cases have difficulties adapting to the
social environment. Therefore, emotional support
helps them feel good about themselves, increase their
self-confidence and achieve success in development.
Children with developmental disabilities often lack self-
confidence. Emotional support provided by a speech
therapist or teacher helps them to increase their self-
confidence. This, in turn, leads to the child feeling free
and natural in communicating with others. Through
emotional support, the child feels confident and
comfortable in social interactions. He learns to
communicate effectively with others, learns to express
his feelings correctly, understand others and show
empathy to them. Children with developmental
disabilities often experience stress and anxiety.
Emotional support provided by a speech therapist or
teacher helps to reduce this stress. The child learns
skills to manage and cope with his emotions. When
working with a child, a speech therapist must
understand his emotions and respond emotionally to
them. The child must be taught to express his feelings,
concerns and difficulties. The speech therapist must
empathetically respond to the child's every word and
action and create a safe and supportive environment
for him.
A speech therapist uses positive reinforcement in
communication with a child. Recognizing and
encouraging a child's successes increases his self-
confidence. This is especially important in recognizing
small achievements and treating them as positively as
possible. The child needs to feel safe and stable. This,
in turn, stabilizes the child's emotional state and allows
him to fully express himself. If a child does not feel calm
and safe, his learning process, speech development and
the formation of social skills are hampered. Children
with developmental disabilities may have difficulty
communicating their feelings and needs to others. In
communication with a child, a speech therapist teaches
him to express his thoughts, feelings and needs clearly
and intelligibly. Speech therapists and educators help
the child learn how to manage stress. This is important
for the child, because stress or mood swings directly
affect speech and social activity. Stress reduction

breathing,
meditation,
or
visualization exercises

can help a child manage their
emotions. A speech therapist should be a role model
for a child in their interactions. If a speech therapist is
calm, patient, and considerate, the child will learn to
behave in the same way. Consistency and consideration
in communication with others can help a child feel good
about themselves. Games and interactive exercises are
very effective in managing emotions and developing
social skills. Through play, a child learns to express their
emotions and understand others. Through play,
emotions can be managed and social connections can
be strengthened. Games and interactive exercises are
very effective in managing emotions and developing
social skills. Through play, a child learns to express their
emotions and understand others. Through play,
emotions can be managed and social connections can
be strengthened. Through stories and fairy tales,
children learn to understand different emotions and to
be careful when communicating with others. Through
stories, children have the opportunity to compare their
feelings with other children, which develops their
ability to express themselves.
Each child is unique, so a speech therapist must provide
an individual approach to communication. For children
with developmental disabilities, it is necessary to take
into account the individual characteristics of each child,
rather than a general pedagogical approach. This
method allows you to effectively develop the child's
speech and communication skills.
An individual approach is a pedagogical activity,
especially in speech therapy and working with children
with developmental disabilities, taking into account the
specific characteristics, needs and abilities of each child
and organizing the educational process accordingly.
Each child has his own individual pace of development,
abilities, learning style and emotional state, therefore
an individual approach to them leads to more positive
results.
The main essence of an individual approach is to take
into account the individual needs and characteristics of
the child, to ensure his full development by
personalizing the educational and upbringing process.
An individual approach is even more necessary for
children with developmental disabilities, as they often
face unique challenges and an adapted learning
process is important for them.
Each child is unique. Their level of psychological,
emotional, physical and cognitive development may
vary. Therefore, it is necessary to choose teaching and
support methods that are appropriate for each child's
learning style and needs. Children with developmental
disabilities often develop more slowly or differently
than others, so an individual approach is required to
support them.

An individual approach helps to improve the child's
emotional state. Children with developmental
disabilities often feel that they are different from
others, which can reduce their self-confidence. An
individual approach helps the child feel confident in
themselves. The child better understands his or her
own characteristics and abilities, which increases self-
confidence.

education that is tailored to his needs and achieve
faster results in his development. For children with
speech
or
other
developmental
disabilities,
development is accelerated through individual
programs and exercises prepared for them. If the child
is provided with an educational method that meets his
needs, he will learn more effectively. Before
implementing an individual approach, it is important to
analyze the child's current level of development, his
language, speech, psychological and social skills. This
will identify the child's strengths and weaknesses, as
well as determine the teaching methods and
techniques
necessary
to
help
him.

Speech development is the process of forming a child's
language and communication skills, correctly and
clearly expressing speech, as well as improving the skills
of understanding and using language. Speech
development plays an important role in the child's
expression of his thoughts, feelings and needs. This
process is not only related to grammar, pronunciation
or vocabulary, but also aims to ensure that the child
effectively participates in social communication,
communicates correctly with other people.
Speech development is even more important for
children with developmental disabilities, as they often
have difficulty forming speech clearly and correctly.
Speech therapists, teachers and psychologists use a
number of methods and techniques to help the child in
this process. A child should be able to express his
thoughts clearly, clearly and correctly. This is very
important for his success in the social and educational
environment. The child increases his language skills by
using new words in his speech and learning correct
speech techniques. This helps him express his thoughts
more clearly and effectively. Grammatical aspects of
speech, correct sentence construction, understanding
and applying the meaning of words and their
connections play an important role in the development
of speech. Pronunciation errors in speech prevent the
child from expressing himself with others. In this
process, it is necessary to teach the child correct
pronunciation. By developing speech, the child learns
the skills of expressing his thoughts clearly in
communication, listening to others and understanding
their thoughts.
An individual approach to speech development is very
important for children with developmental disabilities.
Each child develops in his own way and has different
speech difficulties. Therefore, a speech therapist or
teacher develops exercises adapted to the child and
organizes the learning process based on the child's
needs. In the development of speech, the child is given
special exercises, taking into account his level and
speech problems. In the development of speech, the
child is given special exercises, taking into account his
level and speech problems.
Many
forms
of
communication
mean
the
implementation of the processes of information
exchange and exchange of ideas between people in
various ways, means and forms. Communication
provides mutual understanding between people, the
transfer of information and emotional connection.
Different forms of communication are used depending
on specific goals and conditions, and there may be
differences between them.
Forms of communication can change depending on
different situations and circumstances, and they also
play an important role in the formation of relationships
between people. In the development of speech and
working with children with developmental disabilities,
various forms of communication are important, such as
verbal, non-verbal, formal and informal.
Verbal communication is a form of communication that
is carried out through words. It is the most common
type of communication, necessary for the correct and
clear expression of speech, and for conveying thoughts
to the participants in the communication. Verbal
communication can take the following forms:
Oral communication: This is carried out between
people face to face or over the telephone. It includes
conversations, discussions, educational processes and
many other situations.
Written
communication:
In
this
type
of
communication, thoughts, messages and information
are expressed in written form (for example, letters, e-

mails, articles, books, etc.).
Advantages of verbal communication:
People have the opportunity to express their thoughts
clearly and correctly.
Each word and phrase in the communication is easy to
understand separately.
Verbal communication allows for direct, quick, and
immediate responses.
Nonverbal communication is a form of communication
that occurs without the use of words. This type of
communication occurs between people not only
through words, but also through the use of div
language (facial expressions, hand movements), voice
intonation, facial expressions, and other nonverbal
signals.
Forms of non-verbal communication:
Body language: Communication is carried out through
movements, hand gestures, div position and various
facial expressions. For example, raising eyebrows,
smiling or facial expressions, subtle differences in
movements.
Voice intonation: The high or low tone of speech,
volume and intensities - all of these can change the
content of the communication or provide additional
information.
Macro and micro movements: Communication is
carried out through eye contact, facial expressions,
hand movements or movements of other parts of the
div.
Situation and space: Position and distance in
communication with children are also a form of non-
verbal communication. For example, maintaining the
right distance when playing with a child.
Advantages of non-verbal communication:
Allows quick and effective transmission of information
instead of words.
Allows you to correctly understand people's inner
feelings and situations.
Nonverbal signals are often more accurate in situations
where it is difficult to clarify through direct speech.
Formal communication is a form of communication
that is based on strict rules and formal language,
usually used in social or business contexts. Formal
communication requires caution, respect, and
adherence to rules, as this form of communication
usually refers to relationships between professional or
social organizations.
Forms of formal communication:
Formal meetings: Meetings and gatherings that take
place in the workplace or other formal settings.
Business correspondence: Emails, memoranda, letters,
and other official documents.
Educational processes: Communication between
teachers and students.
Legal communication: Communication related to
courts, contracts, and other legal documents.

situations. Informal communication usually occurs in
social groups, among friends or in a family
environment. In this form of communication, there is
freedom and informality between the interlocutors.
Forms of informal communication:
Conversations between friends: Simple and informal
conversations.
Family communication: Communication between
parents, siblings or other family members.
