SPEECH THERAPY MASSAGE AS A COMPLEX NEUROMODULATING METHOD OF CORRECTION OF SPEECH, MENTAL AND MOTOR FUNCTIONS IN CHILDREN WITH PSYCHOPHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS

Abstract

The scientific article is dedicated to substantiating modern approaches to the correction of speech, cognitive, and motor functions in children with psychophysical developmental disorders, particularly those with dysarthria, through the use of a comprehensive neuromodulatory speech therapy massage.
The study emphasizes that the innovation lies not only in the use of new tools, but also in the development of a holistic model that integrates anatomical, neurophysiological, and psychophysiological aspects of intervention. Speech therapy massage is considered as a corrective method that not only normalizes muscle tone, but also stimulates the formation of new neural connections, enhances speech motor coordination, and influences the emotional and volitional spheres.
The focus is placed on abandoning the narrow classification of massage into solely activating or relaxing types. Within a comprehensive approach, it is essential to consider muscle traction directions, the positioning of blood vessels and lymph nodes, biologically active points, and the specific characteristics of physiological processes.
                The article outlines that future research prospects include refining diagnostic criteria, evaluating the effectiveness of the model for determining levels of muscle tone disorders, and developing individualized corrective strategies based on comprehensive neuromodulatory influence. Further scientific work will focus on developing algorithms for the sequential formation of functional skills, creating a diagnostic-corrective map for each child, and assessing the effectiveness of the proposed approach in the practical work of speech therapists.11:30
