Creation of a developing environment in a speech therapy room

Reflecting on my profession, I came to the conclusion that a speech therapist is a psychologist, an actor, a musician, and a designer. He should not only teach children to speak beautifully and correctly, but also create conditions for mastering speech. The environment must be attractive and mysterious to maintain interest in activities. Each item must carry a semantic load, aesthetic pleasure and mystery in order to invite the child to dialogue.

I offer my opinion on the equipment of a speech therapy room. I think that the use of simple and effective means of organizing a developing environment will help novice speech therapists to conduct classes more interesting and varied. ( The presented correctional and developmental environment of the speech therapy room of the kindergarten was created by the hands of a speech therapist).

The structure of the subject-developing environment of the speech therapy room is determined by the goals of correctional and educational work, the originality of the spatial arrangement of the necessary objects and materials. The subject environment of the speech therapy room is built in accordance with the program that is being implemented in our educational institution.

The speech material is regularly updated as each new lexical topic is studied. Games and manuals are systematically changed throughout the year (depending on the season). This allows you to organize a developing environment within the walls of a speech therapy room, create comfortable conditions for classes and emotional well-being.

Equipment of the subject-spatial developing environment in the speech therapist's office:

Speech center.

Mirrors, before which a significant part of the work is carried out, requiring visual control of the child (articulation and facial exercises, staging sounds and their primary automation). Cash desks of letters, syllables, abacus, sound rulers, symbols of sounds, syllables for tapping out syllables, letter constructor, workbooks with articulation exercises and relevant entertaining material, beads made of beads to form a measured pace of speech and develop motor coordination, didactic games, breathing simulators.

sensory center(a table with a multi-colored tabletop, objects by color, by shape, cards, desktop-printed didactic games, toys for the development of tactile sensations, etc.).

Activity Center represented by a magnetic board, school desks, the Juggling Clown manual, a variety of material for group and subgroup classes is attached to the balls.

motor centerdevelopment. Stencils, strokes, massage balls, lacing, split pictures, nitkography. Manual with screw-on lids "Fly agaric", "Jolly pig" and "Industrious caterpillar" ( related by me). "Industrious caterpillar" is braiding, button flowers, button pocket, tying a bow, etc.., multifunctional lids and much more.


Center of visual perception. Looking at the stars, the cloud and the sun, children are happy to perform gymnastics for the eyes. Exercises help control eye movements, relieve mental fatigue, and contribute to the development of visual perception. I find this guide necessary and very useful.
Centerspeech breathing it is represented by a card index of breathing exercises, a variety of turntables, “wind blowers”, the “Gluttonous Fruits” manual, soap bubbles, autumn leaves, snowflakes, bells, a Christmas tree and many light objects (according to the seasons).

Relaxation center. It also includes soft toys, finger games, "Dry pool" with different fillers. The use of the pool is multifunctional. It contributes not only to the development of speech, but also to the stabilization of the emotional state of children. Toy Nyusha, which is very fond of children. She often plays the role of a pillow that you can hug and warm your soul.

Information Center located in the locker room of the speech therapy group. Equipped with a folding folder, a stand "Advice to parents from the Wise Owl", which contains interchangeable information on various types of speech disorders, entertaining exercises and other necessary recommendations of a speech therapist, handouts.
Center for methodological support It is represented by reference and methodological literature, educational and methodological plans for the sections of speech correction and development, and manuals necessary for the correctional process.


To maintain interest among children and so that there is no overabundance of visibility, benefits replace each other at certain times of the year. For example, "Window to Nature": in autumn - we fix colorful leaves, clouds, "rain"; in winter - snowflakes, snowman, Christmas tree; in spring - migratory birds, a tree with swollen buds, the sun "smiles". The "Magic Umbrella" manual for the development of breathing is also changing. Such an unusual calendar develops attention in children, they notice interesting and typical natural phenomena in winter, spring, summer and autumn.

The constant updating of the office equipment makes corrective speech therapy activities interesting, comfortable, emotionally enriched and, of course, developing for children.

The kids love my office. It is home-like, cozy and always has a friendly atmosphere. It calms the child, has a positive effect on his nervous system.

All subject content is displayed in the passport of the speech therapy room. This is a photo album with "magnetic" pages, where all the information about the purpose and equipment of the office is classified. There is a guide to the office, in which the color of the circle corresponds to different areas of correctional work. This greatly facilitates the search for the necessary educational or methodological materials.
My experience shows that as a result of using the resources of the described correctional and developmental environment of the speech therapy room, the interest of children in correctional classes increases significantly. The environment helps in overcoming the general underdevelopment of speech, promotes the development of spatial representations and visual-object gnosis, develops cognitive interest, increases speech activity, and helps children learn the elements of literacy; development of the lexical and grammatical structure and coherent speech, mental functions.
