CHEKAN, Oksana et al. Effectiveness of information and communication programmes for children with special educational needs in the context of speech development. Acta Educ. [online]. 2025, vol.47, e71306.  Epub Sep 01, 2025. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v47i1.71306.

The aim of the work is to determine the effectiveness of information and communication programmes for special educational needs (SENs) in the context of speech development. The aim was achieved through the use of general theoretical methods of analysis, observations and calculations of the ranking factor, efficiency coefficient, Phillips correlation coefficient. It was established that the most effective approaches for the development of children’s speech are the use of information technologies (2.5), social interaction (2.37), group approach (2.25). The obtained results gave grounds to develop a programme for speech and general development of children aged 4 to 7 years. The programme provided for the creation of mind maps, provision of joint reading, performance of educational songs, development of speech in accordance with the specified topic. Training became possible due to the use of modern technologies, namely the applications MindMeister, Digital Inclusion, speech synthesis from Google and YouTube. It was established that the developed programme had a positive effect on the improvement of children’s phonetic speech compared to the results at the beginning of the study. The practical significance of the work implies the possibility of using the developed programme for speech correction among a larger number of children. Research prospects are related to the elaboration of speech development mechanisms depending on the degree of speech impairment.
