THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES AND SPEECH DISORDERS ASSESSMENT IN REGIONAL PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT CENTERS

Abstract

The formation of a quality education system for children with special educational needs in the Republic of Armenia, the difficulty of applying the study and assessment model for speech therapy assessment is explained by the insufficient numbers of studies and lack of the current problem examination. Currently, regional pedagogical and psychological support centers in the Republic of Armenia provide the assessment of the educational needs of children with special needs and make a corresponding conclusion regarding the organization of the child's education and the special conditions required for the education. The application of the new model of speech therapy assessment presented to implement the provided support/speech therapy services at a proper level will provide an opportunity to implement the functions defined by the legislation and statutes, which are related to the provision of speech therapy services in general education.
