severe speech impairment, digitalization, adaptation

The topic of the impact of digitalization on children with severe speech disorders (SSD) is relevant, because every year more and more children start using smartphones, tablets and computers to learn, play and communicate with other people. However, children with SSD may be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of digitalization. Therefore, the issue of the impact of digitalization on children with SSD is important for parents and teachers. Digitalization has a huge impact on various aspects of the lives of children with severe speech disorders. One of the main advantages of digitalization for such children is the possibility of using special programs and applications that help them develop speech and communication skills. For example, special educational applications for children with speech disorders that help them learn to pronounce sounds and words correctly, as well as develop reading and writing skills. Such applications can be used as an addition to regular classes with a psychologist, and as an independent tool for speech development. Observation of children with SSD has shown that the use of a computer optimizes the process of speech correction, and also contributes to the harmonization of child development. Thanks to the use of information and communication technologies in psychological work, the cognitive activity of children increases. The use of presentations, computer technologies increase the effectiveness of correctional and pedagogical work. However, despite all the advantages of digitalization, its impact on children with severe speech disorders can be ambiguous. Studies conducted on this topic have shown that excessive use of digital technologies can lead to deterioration of communication skills in such children, they will be inactive and obese, will have difficulty sleeping and show aggression, as well as to inhibit their development in general. In addition, modern children are very susceptible to "clip thinking", which arises in response to the abundant flow of information. In general, the impact of digitalization on children with TNR depends on how this technology is used. Parents and teachers should ensure the correct use of gadgets and programs, as well as control the time spent by children in front of the screen. This will help to avoid possible problems and maximize the opportunities provided by digitalization.
