The article examines the problem of speech development in preschool children who have experienced psychological deprivation. The history of studying the phenomenon of deprivation and its impact on the child’s socio-emotional and mental development is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the pathogenesis of speech disorders arising from limited emotional contact, a lack of social stimulation, and insufficient positive communication experience. The experimental study identified characteristic features of the speech function in children with deprivation experience and revealed correlations between the level of mental development, the emotional sphere, and speech activity. The main directions of psychocorrective work are outlined, aimed at restoring communicative initiative, developing emotional and speech expressiveness, and reducing anxiety manifestations in children. The research results expand the understanding of psychological mechanisms of speech formation under conditions of psychological deprivation and can be used in the practice of child psychologists, speech therapists, and preschool educators.
