  1. There are thousands of professions in the world and all of them are important and interesting. But each person chooses the one that best fits his or her natural abilities and inclinations. I love children, so my future profession will be connected precisely with them. I am a future speech therapist. So who is a speech therapist you might ask? Speech therapists diagnose and treat all kinds of speech disorders. For example, stuttering, hearing problems that affect speaking ability, speech difficulty caused by injury or illness, or mental problems that prevent understanding of words and sentences. These experts also help those who simply want to improve their speaking skills.
    I consider my chosen path even as a creative one, it combines the professions like: teacher, doctor, actor, musician and psychologist. This profession allows you to be in touch with the world of childhood, to help the child to cope with the difficulties and makes every day unique. Also, the knowledge of psychology and medicine will be useful to me in my life as a future mother.
    In my vision the speech therapist is the most interesting and exciting profession.

  17. It would be difficult to understand the speech of the person who has speech violation, if it were not for the speech therapists. The speech therapist is a person who studies the causes and methods of correction of speech. The number of children having speech disorders is increasing.
    Some kids cope by themselves, others have to be treated with the help of a specialist. I asked my parents if I was in the classroom at speech therapy, I received a negative response. I wondered what a speech therapist?
    This profession is relatively new, so last speech, most likely, not perceived as a strong deviation from the norm. Most people have such issues held by themselves by the age of 7 - 8, and others and expressed, how to get.
    Be the first to correct it tried in Europe in the XVII century. These were the teachers of children with low or absent hearing. If a person is well heard but still not pronouncing some letters, such dysfunction fix not tried, apparently, considering it as a norm. Lack of knowledge, speech was considered as the problem is purely physical, so she was treated by medical methods. Only by mid-twentieth century, speech therapists are increasingly began to pay attention to the psychological help that problem.
    With the help of specially selected exercises the therapist teaches people to speak properly: not in the nose, burring, clearly pronouncing the letter "R" etc. the Therapist shows the correct position of the tongue and lips when pronouncing sounds and gives exercise at home - training texts, and tongue twisters.

It is interesting to study solutions of speech pathology. I do not regret that I study speech therapy

Illnesses become more difficult to diagnose. Speech problems cause difficulties in writing; that is why children find it difficult to express their feelings.

It is a difficult job, and speech therapist must be patient and persistent. Speech pathologists work in a speech therapy centers, private clinics and kindergartens. Speech therapists work not only with children but also with adults after injuries or strokes. I decided to become a speech therapist because I like working with people.

    Before becoming a speech language pathologist, you first have to know what is speech therapy, what does the SLP, what he needs have requirements and personal qualities of their work.
    First of all, speech therapy — the science of speech disorders, methods of their prevention, detection and correction. She is needed to detect speech disorders in children and address them with special training and education. The work of a SLP is not only in the production of sounds, she is complex and involves the development of attention, perception, memory, thinking, motor skills children, and all component parts necessary for the educational process. And if time does not resolve all the difficulties encountered in kindergarten, they will haunt the child in school.

If the child has a short frenulum sublingual, in the course of employment with the SLP can bridle a little stretch special speech therapy exercises and light massage.
    In addition, the SLP develops a special "speech" exhale to vibrated the tip tongue when you growl, and the whole speech was sonorous and clear. Finally, the SLP will teach the child to hear the sounds correctly identify them and repeat in their own conversations.

  22. The modern logopedist is the teacher who, works with children and makes a contribution to their future, forming skills of possession of the beautiful and correct speech. Every day the logopedist, working with kids, has to remember: that children will be able to gather today, will give them in the future of prospect for development and self-improvement.

    The profession of the logopedist is very humane, after all development of the child is a way of truth, search unique and unique "I", it is a way of formation of identity of the child, long and difficult, but fine and unique.

    To be the logopedist is more, than it is simple to have prestigious and rare specialty, it is more responsible, than it is simple to devote itself to improvement of a profession.

    After all, in my opinion, only thanks to unconditional and self-sacrificing love of the best teachers, all education system in general, and the system of correction in particular, still exists and develops in our country. These people accepting the profession as service don't stop and don't lower a hand before any difficulties which in a profession of the logopedist there is a huge set every day.

    In work with children the love, keenness are especially necessary, after all the logopedist replaces to the pupils mother when it isn't present nearby, and, so has to behave motherly, generously giving attention, caress, warmth, the kind word, geniality, warm-heartedness.

    The logopedist is urged to execute fine mission – to give the love to children. And every day it has to realize it, at the same time transferring to the wards tendency to this feeling.

Work of a Speech Therapist in correctional group begins with development in children of attention, visual and acoustical perception, memory and thinking. Without it is impossible to adjust full educational process. Tasks of a Speech Therapist include expansion and enrichment of a lexicon of children, development of the coherent speech and training in the diploma, correction of grammatical mistakes. Except possession of techniques of correction of oral and written language, a Speech Therapist is familiar with fundamentals of neuropathology, psychopathology, pathology of organs of hearing and speeches. A speech-language pathologist has information about all aspects of language and their interrelation. A Speech Therapist has to be kind, careful, accurate, attentive, punctual. He is ready to come to the rescue of the child always. (Zhukovskaya Maria)
