Conclusion

The organization of the correctional work of a speech therapist teacher at a school for children with disabilities (HIA) is a complex and responsible process aimed at ensuring the full-fledged еducation and development of each child. Working with this category of students requires the teacher not only to be highly qualified in the field of speech therapy, but also to understand the individual characteristics of each student, their needs and abilities.

In the course of our research, various aspects of correctional work were considered, ranging from the diagnosis of speech disorders to the development of individualized correction prоgrams. An important component of successful correctional work is cooperation with other specialists, including teachers, psychologists and doctors, in order to provide an integrated approach to the development of children with disabilities.

The importance of involving parents in the process of correctional work was also revealed. Cooperation with the family creates favorable conditions for the application of correctional techniques and technologies in the daily life of the child, which contributes to a more effective achievement of goals.

In conclusion, it can be noted that the development of correctional work in schools for children with disabilities requires constant improvement of pedagogical techniques, adaptation to new challenges and exchange of experience between specialists. It is important to emphasize that every child is unique, and successful remedial work depends on a thorough understanding and respect for their individuality. The responsibility for creating a favorable educаtional environment for children with disabilities lies on the shoulders of the entire teaching staff, and only through joint efforts will we be able to provide every child with the opportunity for full and harmonious development.
