Speech Therapist Coloring Book for Non-Speakers. Sound Imitations to Launch Speech

The speech therapy book with pictures for coloring is designed for joint work between an adult and a child of preschool age. The manual presents practical material for the preparatory stage of work with children who have speech developmental delays. The proposed tasks can also be used for activities with young children without speech disorders. The material of the manual features a systematic approach to eliciting sounds and sound imitations. Original exercises are based on the close connection between thinking processes, speech, and motor skills, which significantly accelerates speech development. Creative tasks in a playful form will help the child not only transition from understanding speech to pronouncing sounds and syllables but also coordinate the muscles of the speech apparatus, develop motor skills, visual and auditory attention, memory, thinking, the intonational aspect of speech, imagination, and a sense of rhythm. The manual is addressed to speech therapists, special education teachers, parents, and educators.
