Abstract

This article examines the specific characteristics of speech development in children diagnosed with alalia — a severe form of speech disorder caused by underdevelopment of the speech centers in the brain. The study analyzes the linguistic, psychological, and neurological aspects influencing delayed speech formation and communication difficulties. Special attention is paid to the types of alalia (motor and sensory), their manifestations, and the importance of early diagnosis and corrective-pedagogical intervention. The paper highlights modern methods of speech therapy and integrated approaches that combine medical, psychological, and pedagogical measures to improve communication skills in affected children. The findings emphasize the significance of early and individualized intervention in achieving positive speech outcomes.
