Features of the grammatical structure of speech in younger schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorders

Abstract

More and more professionals are dealing with people with autism spectrum disorder. An analysis of the literature showed that the problem of organizing and conducting speech therapy work with children with autism spectrum disorders is one of the most relevant at the present stage of development of speech therapy. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a clinically heterogeneous group of developmental disorders characterized by qualitative abnormalities in social interaction and communication patterns, as well as a limited, stereotyped, repetitive set of interests and activities. Most of them are also characterized by violations of the grammatical structure of speech, but there are practically no studies on this problem. In this article, the features of the grammatical structure of speech in younger students with autism spectrum disorders were identified and analyzed. The concept of the grammatical structure of speech and the ontogeny of its development are considered, and the results of a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the ascertaining experiment conducted during the study are presented.
