The impact of inclusive education on the social-emotional development of children with speech disorders and their integration into society

Abstract

The purpose of the article was to analyze the impact of inclusive education on the social-emotional development of children with speech disorders, to determine the most effective ways of preparing them for successful integration into society. To achieve the goal, general scientific research methods were used, namely, analysis of scientific sources and literature, synthesis of the obtained data, and generalization. It was determined that the main goal of education and training of children with special educational needs, in particular with speech disorders, is their preparation for life in society. An important prerequisite for the successful development of children is the creation of an appropriate educational environment that meets the needs and capabilities of each child, namely an inclusive one. The main tasks of inclusive education are outlined, which include the inclusion of the child in the group of peers, the creation of a team to accompany the child, ensuring the provision of appropriate assistance, promoting the formation of a positive attitude of society towards children with special educational needs. The main component of the process of children's integration into society is the development of their emotional and social competence. Preparing children with speech disorders for life requires the use of an activity-based approach to education, aimed at developing the skills of independent educational activities, the formation of adaptation skills, and the correction of speech functions. Preschool age is considered the most favorable period for speech correction. The requirements for corrective and developmental measures aimed at the social development of children with speech disorders were highlighted, including the focus on the normalization of the child's psycho-emotional state, the implementation of the format of paired classes, the use of exercises to develop the child's ability to feel another child. Pedagogical conditions, corrective methods and speech therapy help play an important role in children's development. The article analyzed the resources of the "Classroom Management" technology, which contribute to the effective formation of social and emotional competence of children in the conditions of an inclusive environment. In general, inclusive education has a positive effect on the integration of children with speech disorders into society due to the formation of social ties with peers.
