In the article, we will consider how the commission goes to the speech therapy garden.
If children need a special educational program, then they are given a referral for examination at PMPK. Psychologists, physicians, and educators who specialize in learning from the primary preschool age to the senior school age study the educational needs of the child.
Special Garden
Many parents want to arrange a child in speech therapy groups, which are available in combined kindergartens, or directly in a special garden with such a bias. Many people know that school preparation and training programs in these groups are much better and higher than in ordinary ones. In addition, it provides for a certain number of children, from ten to fourteen, no more. Thanks to this, each child will receive more individual attention. It is not very easy to get into such a group if there are no speech disorders in children.
Who gives recommendations?
Most often, recommendations to go through a speech therapy commission are given either by a doctor from the garden to which the child goes, or a specialist from the logo garden when the local one is absent. Children with speech impairment and in need of correction are entered on the list, which they then introduce to their parents. If they agree to be transferred to a special speech therapy group, then they should come for an interview. A bilateral form is given there, that is, a referral for a preliminary medical detour before the commission. Nobody will force parents to go to doctors, such a decision is purely voluntary.
Description of the psychological-medical-pedagogical commission
PMPK is an abbreviation that stands for: psychological, medical and pedagogical commission (consultation, consultation). Her work is carried out to determine the mental and physical level of development of children in order to find the most suitable educational route.
When a child needs a special educational program, he is sent for examination at PMPK. The study of the educational needs of children involves psychologists, physicians and teachers who specialize in teaching a child from primary preschool to high school.
The meeting of the speech therapy commission is carried out in one room. All specialists can sit at separate tables (the child takes turns talking with them), and together. They ask the child questions of interest, suggest doing some tasks.
Studying the results of tasks and conversations, psychologists and educators draw conclusions about the psychological specifics of intellectual activity, the degree of characteristics of the child, and establish the prerequisites for the appearance of problems of development and learning.
Unfortunately, often children find themselves surrounded by alien adults, in an uncomfortable environment. The members of the commission sometimes rush the child, do not take into account the specifics of temperament, do not cheer up and do not give rest when completing tasks. An unfamiliar environment negatively affects preschoolers, especially if they have developmental disorders. Sometimes children generally become silent and do not show all their capabilities, do not want to answer questions from the commission.
What help can be given to a child with speech therapies?
When observing a child with any violations in the development of speech, he will need to undergo a speech therapy commission. Based on its results, it can be defined in:
- Emergency point or logistic point - separate lessons with a speech therapist, when the child goes to a simple group in the kindergarten, but also deals with an examiner. Thus corrected small violations.
- Logo group, or speech therapy group. There are much fewer children than simple children (12/25). Here, all the guys have speech disorders. The logo group may be in the garden that is already visited by the child, but in the absence of places or such groups in the institution of the child will have to be transferred to another place.
- Logopedic kindergarten, in which there are different correctional groups, classified according to speech disorders, which are subject to correction.
Commission composition
The speech therapy commission consists of the following participants:
- the chairman is a specialist in the educational field;
- Deputy - Healthcare Specialist;
- doctors of one or another specialization (optometrist, orthopedist, pediatrician, otolaryngologist, etc.);
- psychologist;
- special teacher (oligophrenopedagogue, sign teacher, speech therapist, defectologist, etc.);
- lawyer;
- social educator, social worker.
So that the child is not afraid of an unfamiliar environment and people, the commission may include temporary members - his class teacher, teacher, etc. Children are sent to the PMPC only when the parents agree.
List of doctors
If parents agree to undergo doctors, then the child needs to visit such specialists as: otolaryngologist, optometrist, pediatrician, psychiatrist, orthodontist dentist, neuropathologist. In some kindergartens, a surgeon's examination is additionally required.
It is necessary to ensure that the doctors of the children's speech therapy commission put their stamps and signatures in the direction, all formalities must be carried out. The direction is issued in advance in order to have time to go through all the experts before the meeting of the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission.
Required documents
What documents will the commission in a speech therapy kindergarten require?
In addition to the direction in which the passage of doctors is noted, additionally you will need:
- copy of patient’s birth certificate;
- an application for transferring a child to a speech therapy group;
- characteristic written by a speech therapist and educator.
About where and on what day the meeting of the commission will take place, they warn in advance. This usually occurs either in RONO, or directly in the kindergarten. Specialists will talk with the child, check the evidence and documents. In different cities, the composition of the commission may have its own differences, but in most cases it consists of a speech therapist, a defectologist, a psychologist and representatives of RONO.
Walkthrough
Most often they ask questions on logical thinking and quick wit. The child must repeat the combination of sounds to identify violations in the pronunciation of certain sounds. Parents' reviews show that the conversation does not last long, 10-15 minutes, the result is announced immediately.
Representatives may also ask:
- embed a figure in an identical figure (a triangle in a triangle, a circle in a circle, etc.);
- assemble a pyramid;
- name colors and shapes;
- to collect body parts of a paper man;
- name all the seasons and the one that is now;
- find an extra item;
- answer the question of who the baby is to dad, grandmother, etc .;
- answer spatial questions (where is the dog sitting?);
- Describe what is drawn in the picture;
- to group objects according to a certain attribute;
- pronounce words like mezzanine, stir up, etc. to check the sound pronunciation;
- to draw something;
- sing a passage from a song or recite a verse.
Preparing a child for commission in a speech therapy group in advance is undesirable, since the correctness of the measures to eliminate violations depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis. There is no need to be afraid of any terrible diagnoses; for a speech therapy group, the following conclusions are essentially appropriate: general speech underdevelopment; phonetic-phonemic underdevelopment of speech; stuttering, or logoneurosis.
It is recommended not to abandon the speech therapy group, especially in the presence of speech disorders. After this, children learn writing, counting, reading, and pronouncing sounds correctly. In addition, it is very profitable, since the cost of a lesson with a private speech therapist is from 500 rubles, in the garden they are free, homework is given.
The line for the passage of the speech therapy commission in Moscow is approximately 1.5 months.
