In compliance with all the measures and recommendations of the National Coordinating Body (NCT), the on-call speech therapist will work this summer at the "Vuk Karadžić" Primary School in Zabjelo.
"It's more about advisory work and online, sometimes parents come to download the material," said on-call speech therapist Maja Šćekić, guest on "Colors of the Morning".
The speech therapist said that parents usually come in because of problems of children with delays in speech and language development, due to incorrect pronunciation of certain sounds, and often due to disturbances in the rhythm and pace of speech, as well as difficulties in acquiring material, i.e. reading and writing.
The problem of stuttering is more common in boys than in girls, says Šćekić.
"Developmental stuttering occurs between the ages of two and three and can be overcome with a few treatments," said speech therapist Šćekić.
A five-and-a-half-year-old child should pronounce each sound correctly.
"If you notice that your child does not respond to sound at an early age, does not pay attention to speech, does not turn when called by name even though he has good hearing, does not respond to commands, this is a sign that the parent should contact a speech therapist," she said. Scekic.
The director of the school, Svetlana Drobnjak, says that when enrolling children in the first grade, they recognized a serious number of children with speech therapy problems, and the goal of the speech therapist's work summer is to help all children, especially the first graders.
