Speech disorders of preschool children and parents influence on them

The motivation to get a deeper insight into the speech and language disorder was its influence on person's general development and his/her self-image. In the theoretical part, the definition of speech, different phases in the speech development and factors which have an influence on them (with special attention to parents) are presented. The most extensive is the chapter where I write about preschool children’s speech and language disorders. Empirical part contains questions for preeschool childrens parents and their answers. I asked them about speech and language disorders, their awareness of these disorders for childs development, if they think that they are important factor in childs speech development, did they speak to a specialist and who that was, do they think it's important for every kindergarten to have speech and language specialist. I conclude with the conclusions, which emphasize the importance of parents in a child's speech and language development, highlight the results of the study and suggest measures to improve the current situation
