The development of recommendations was based on the analysis of current innovative practices in both Ukrainian and foreign speech therapy.

It has been found that the application of adaptive methods and innovative technologies, such as gamification, digital platforms, and multimedia tools, significantly improves the results of speech therapy support for students. The use of individualized learning approaches enhances the level of integration of students with speech impairments into the general educational process, facilitating their socialization and successful material assimilation.

The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of innovative methods in speech therapy, particularly in the context of inclusive education. The article makes a significant contribution to the understanding and improvement of speech development methodologies for primary school students.
