A new interactive program called 'Logotalk,' designed to improve speech skills in children over three years old, has begun testing in one of the kindergartens in Tashkent.
Thanks to this program, preschoolers learn sound discrimination skills, acquire new vocabulary, and improve pronunciation accuracy. The complex includes 95 lessons and about 400 thematic illustrations.
In interactive mode, children complete tasks aimed at developing auditory perception, which allows them to distinguish between similarly sounding words and recognize various sounds, including those of musical instruments.
Furthermore, the program contains a special section dedicated to articulatory gymnastics. Here, children perform exercises for their lips and tongue that promote the correct placement and reinforcement of individual sounds.
Specialists have the opportunity not only to apply the suggested tasks but also to independently integrate their own content and modify exercises according to each child's individual needs.
The total volume of the complex exceeds 1,600 tests and has received a recommendation from the Union of Defectologists of Russia.
The program developer is the Russian company 'Scientific Entertainment,' which operates within the 'Technopolis Moscow' special economic zone. According to Deputy Mayor of Moscow Maxim Liksutov, the supply of 'Logotalk' to Uzbekistan is part of the export deliveries of products from enterprises in this zone.
The company also supplies its developments to countries such as Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, and holds more than thirty patents.
It is also noted that in Uzbekistan, there are plans to create a children's rehabilitation center modeled after the Turkish Avrupa Medical Center, which will provide support to children with various developmental characteristics, including speech impairments, motor function disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and cognitive problems.
