Speech therapy support is considered as a holistic, continuous and interdisciplinary process aimed at the formation of speech and communicative skills, taking into account the individual needs of a child with severe speech disorders. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources, the content of the concept of "speech therapy support" is clarified, its structural components and basic functional tasks are determined.

Attention is focused on the need to combine speech therapy, psychological, medical and pedagogical influences within the framework of transdisciplinary interaction of specialists. The article systematizes the principles of speech therapy support, in particular, proposes modified principles for providing speech therapy support for young children with cerebral palsy.
