It’s another thing when you enter a room and see a certain community - children. They are both similar and dissimilar; you try to guess their thoughts and realize with regret that in order to understand, you must get to know and accept these children for who they are! Is it possible to happily accept the hugs of a “sunny” child every day, or maybe the teacher just needs to provide these children with qualified help?
Probably, it was the beginning of professional activity in the position of “teacher-defectologist” in a group for children with Down syndrome in a preschool educational institution that influenced me to think about the question: “Tolerance: indifference or acceptance?”
I began my search for truth with the meaning of this “loud” word. Tolerance is an essentially social term. Summarizing the interpretations of dictionaries: historical, political, legal, sociological, I come to the conclusion that tolerance is tolerance. Tolerance for opinions, beliefs, lifestyles, behavior... Folk art immediately appears in the mind: proverbs, sayings, it’s not for nothing that people composed them, they contain the truth of life: “Not every desire is patience,” “Patience gives skill,” “ Patience and work will grind everything down,” “All evil can be overcome with patience,” and there is much more such wisdom... But how did Vladimir Ivanovich Dal define the word “patience” in his “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language”? According to Dahl, “to endure - to endure means to endure, endure, need; strengthen, take courage, hold on; expect, hope, be meek; condescend, allow, relax; don’t rush, don’t rush.” So many synonyms, and all about creative, merciful, meaningful, and not a single thought about indifference!
Each epithet is about patience, the ability to endure the same indifference, to endure failures, to endure hardships, to need help, to suffer quietly; to strengthen yourself with all your might, to overcome difficulties, to stick together, to stand without exhaustion or despondency to the last; expect the joy of achievement, wait for something better, making efforts, hope for success, be meek according to the situation, humble yourself only before God; indulge in possibilities, allow for options, relax the pace, indulge when necessary, harmonize for the time being, give the habit as an exception; don’t rush to draw conclusions, don’t rush things, “don’t rush horses,” do it in moderation; all this, it seems to me, is possible for a teacher who works not for profit or fame, but due to the fact that he would not otherwise be able to carry out his activities. presents!
A competent teacher - a responsive, sensitive person - will be able to both accept and support a child with disabilities. It is to accept and support, and not to understand and pity, because, in my opinion, pity is a very painful feeling, an awareness of some kind of weakness. But we are people living in the 21st century! Specialists! Are we really so powerless that we cannot provide support to those who need it so much?! But to understand...would a mother raising a child with Down syndrome believe me if I, shaking my head, told her: “As I understand you...”. Of course, probably not always and not in all situations, but it seems to me that one can truly understand the feelings of this mother only by experiencing and experiencing this feeling of insecurity and hopelessness when her child cried for the first time, and medical workers simultaneously made a disappointing diagnosis. What is tolerance at such a moment? Is it possible to remain indifferent in such a situation? Those around them felt sorry, which means they had already experienced a deep, socially approved feeling, and the mother... the mother accepted it unconditionally!
When choosing the profession of “defectologist teacher,” I categorically defined for myself: not sympathy, but support; not pity, but complicity; not curiosity, but acceptance! And I accept children with disabilities, participate in their lives, provide them with all possible support and qualified assistance! I'm not proud of myself, I'M PROUD OF MY PROFESSION!

“My profession is defectologist”
Popular wisdom says: “IfWant, toyearremembered - plantflowers, for a long timeremembered - planttree, foreverremembered- teach children".
Many years ago, I often played school and I really fell in love with the main role - the role of the teacher. I always dreamed of devoting myself to children, I felt the need to bring joy, benefit and wanted to be an example to follow. Growing up, I decided that I would connect my life with working at school. My childhood dream came true. I am a speech pathologist teacher. My students are special children. I believe that a defectologist should be responsible, patient, attentive, responsive, tactful, persistent, and caring. He needs knowledge in pedagogy, psychology, medicine, genetics and other subjects.
The main task of a person who has chosen the profession of a defectologist is to train and develop a “special” child, to help him adapt in social, everyday, professional and other spheres.
Every day I come to work and feel a huge responsibility for the future of each of my students. This is very difficult but noble work. Teaching children with disabilities, seeing and enjoying even their small achievements, this is precisely my calling. I give and will give all my love, kindness and care to children.
When a teacher comes to work at a school, he begins to learn. So do I day after dayI have mastered and continue to master teaching skills, I seek and find an individual approach to everyone,I teach deaf children to find and learn new and interesting things. When I see the results of effective correctional work, I feel proud even for the small victories of my students.
Improving the quality of education puts forward more and more new requirements for the training and education of hearing-impaired children. To teach them, you need to know a lot yourself. It is important for me to learn new things and share my teaching experience, so I take part and exchange many years of experience in teaching children with disabilities within the framework of the activities of methodological associations, at seminars, conferences, both at the level of an educational institution, and at city and republican level. levels. I also share my experience with the parents of my students and students. I use modern technologies in my work. Awarded honorary diplomas and certificates.
For fourteen years I have been working at a school with special and very beloved children. I always try to be friendly and responsive with the guys and colleagues. I have never regretted that I received special education, because it allowed me to help many families. Often parents do not attach importance to the importance of starting treatment and education on time. My knowledge and pedagogical assistance help determine the right path for the development of young children with disabilities: they suggesthow to educate, what and how to teach. In conversations with parents, I share my experience and I can say for sure that the difficulties faced by a family raising a disabled child can be solved and there are many specialists who will always come to the rescue and be there. At these moments, my words give strength and help the family become more confident in the future.
A defectologist is one of the most important, responsible, and in-demand professions. I love my difficult, but necessary and interesting work. I am proud of my profession!
“IN THE NAME OF THE FUTURE DEARLY GOOD…»
Morozova Lyudmila Gennadievna,
Teacher - defectologist, MBDOU "Kindergarten No. 181"
Cheboksary
And every hour and every minute
Someone's fate is an eternal concern.
Giving a piece of your heart to someone
This is our job.
A child was born. A new life, destiny - a whole universe appeared in the world. But instead of joy and delight, tears lurked in the mother’s eyes... Why? The doctor’s words are scary and incomprehensible, and therefore even more frightening: “This is cerebral palsy, and the consequence is difficulties in the development of basic movements, systemic speech disorders, and disability.” And then more - words - sentences, like aimed stones, fly into an already broken mother’s heart.
And the baby lies, blinking his eyes in surprise, seeing this world for the first time, and cannot understand why every time his best, strongest and most magical mother picks him up, a salty drop rolls off her cheek...
Lend a helping hand, don’t stand aside, help understand the disease in order to become happier- the main principles of my work. And to be more precise - not just work, but all my activities as a whole and my entire existence. Because it is impossible to draw a clear line between work and personal life when it comes to children….
Children are our future, for which we, the adults, are responsible. Childhood is a special period in a person’s life, a time of discovery, a time of laying the foundation for a future harmoniously developing personality. It is gratifying that society recognizes the enormous responsibility that a teacher bears on his shoulders.
All teachers are different, but they are similar in one thing: there is not a single one among us who would not wish the best for his students and pupils. Especially when it comes to raising and teaching children with disabilities. Every woman, every mother and every teacher, communicating with such children, has a heart for the sinless souls of children, accepting the child as her own... It’s impossible otherwise, it just doesn’t work out when you realize that a little person “looks at you with eyes full of hope, puts his palm in your hand and is ready to follow you..." How I want to fill the lives of such children with the light of love, care, support and understanding in order to raise the younger generation healthy and happy!
To bring the worlds of a healthy and a sick child as close as possible, in which everyone has the right to a happy childhood. To help children and their families get out of the hypnosis of the diagnosis, to do everything possible to bring the child at least a few steps closer to the generally accepted norms of development, but to their individual norm and, of course, to believe in their “special” children, to accept them as they are, to teach children to believe in themselves while coping with life’s barriers are the most important tasks in a teacher’s work with this category of children.
And I am happy to realize my involvement in this noble and bright cause. I am happy to create because I simply love children, just like my dearest and most precious son and daughter are loved and raised by someone... Thank them so much for this!
That is why I chose the profession of a teacher - defectologist.The desire to help and not leave someone in need alone with their difficulties and problems led me into the world of “special pedagogical work.”
When you start talking about your profession, you understand again and again how complex, important and necessary you have been devoting yourself to for 8 years. For some period of time I worked as a teacher and speech therapist, helping children overcome various speech disorders, instilling confidence in their own abilities, increasing their level of socialization.
For 3 years now I have been working in a compensatory group for children with musculoskeletal disorders.Here the teacher is a defectologist - the information and energy center of the “Health and Childhood” galaxy. For parents - a ray of light, hope and support. For teachers - coordinator, guide, advisor. For children - an inexhaustible source of knowledge, a kind wizard, the first teacher and assistant in life.
I do not work alone, but in a friendly team. Other specialists from our kindergarten and, of course, the parents of the students also help me. Only in a “single friendly family” with a cohesive common goal - to help children with disabilities socialize into the world of normally developing peers, under the masterful and professional guidance of innovative teachers, can visible and socially significant results be achieved.
To achieve respect and love from children, you need to prove that you are worth it. How to do this? I believe that a professional teacher should have internal motivation to carry out their activities efficiently. He shouldhave creative potential, firmly believe in the result of their work and, of course, love children with all their hearts.
I like to work with special children, create, search, instill in them skills and hope, rejoice at their slightest successes and achievements. And children, in turn, are for me teachers of kindness, trust and openness to people.
Noticing the results of my work, I am convincedthat I am leaving a part of my soul, its best piece, in something bright, eternal and endless. In our bright future!...
And I am grateful to my fate that my professional path is a path of goodness, in which you are a ray of light and hope for your neighbor.
And I without false modesty
I'm not ashamed to admit,
That I am by my profession
Really proud!
A teacher-defectologist is the most humane profession on Earth.
Teaching and raising children is interesting, exciting, but not easy work. And raising and educating children with special needs (HES) is not an easy task. Special education teachers are involved in teaching these children. This profession is aimed at helping children with disabilities master the basic educational program and at maximizing the correction and rehabilitation of deficiencies in the development of these children. And these are children with impaired hearing function, blind, visually impaired children, children with severe speech impairments, with musculoskeletal disorders (CP), with mental retardation (MRD), mentally retarded (MR) and other children with disabilities.
The profession of defectologist is quite young. Only in the recent past have people come to understand that children with mental or physical developmental disabilities are unique in their own way, that they need and can be developed and taught to live in society. History shows that in the early stages of its development, attitudes towards people with psychophysical disabilities were intolerant. Children with such defects were killed and thrown into the abyss. This happened in Sparta until the 4th-5th centuries. AD. This was the case in Ancient Rome at the beginning of this millennium, where ugly, disfigured children were killed. At the same time, methods of treating people with disabilities were being developed in Rome. For example, Aristotle studied deafness, and Hippocrates tried to treat epilepsy.
Defectology is closely related to psychology, medicine, pedagogy, etc. And therefore, a teacher-defectologist needs to be competent in the field of special pedagogy and psychology, know the anatomical, physiological and clinical foundations of defectology, methods and techniques for preventing and correcting deviations in the development of children with disabilities . A teacher-defectologist is a universal profession. Children with hearing impairment are taught by a teacher of the deaf, children who are blind and visually impaired are taught by a typhlopedagogue, and children with mental retardation are taught by an oligophrenopedagogist.
The work of a teacher-defectologist with such children is often associated with great emotional, psychological, and sometimes physical stress. This work requires great endurance, patience and self-control, love and a sense of kindness, because every day, every lesson will need to open the world of knowledge to a child who differs from other peers in his mental or physical development.

Essay “My profession is a teacher-defectologist”
ESSAY
“I am a teacher – defectologist”
"To be a good teacher,
you have to love what you teach,
and love those you teach.”
V. O. Klyuchevsky
Why did I choose profession of a teacher-defectologist?
Profession mine is extraordinary, like endless childhood, and sometimes like magic. After all, a defectologist is able to help "special" kids. He knows how to present program material based on the child’s characteristics and how developed certain cognitive processes are.
Due to poor ecology, unfavorable hereditary factors, various severe infectious and chronic diseases, bad habits and other factors, children are increasingly being born with certain developmental problems. The number of such children, unfortunately, is constantly growing, so profession defectologist in the modern world is very relevant and in demand.
The greatest advantage of my work is its special significance for children with disabilities.
Help for families with a child with special educational needs is simply invaluable. And the main reward for me, as a teacher, is moral satisfaction from the work done and the positive result in the development of children.
Yes, in ours the profession has many difficulties, but despite this, in it I can realize my creative potential and receive a charge of energy to move forward.
I enjoy my work, because I realize that my efforts are not wasted in vain; my specialty is extremely in demand.
Teacher-defectologist is my calling, this is constant teaching, my way of life and good goal!
I teacher-speech pathologist!
What's special about that!
Everyone will know about me
when trouble comes to the house...
Taking it from the hands of parents
"Flower", wounded and fragile,
I will quickly remember all the sciences
And about universal love!
I'm not alone, my colleagues
They will lend a shoulder and encourage
And with a kind word and advice,
They will do a good deed!
What are my teaching principles?
My first principle is very simple:
Give warmth, energy and knowledge!
The second one is like this: always learn!
And don’t leave anything without your attention!
And the third principle is like an oath Hippocrates:

You have to treat your work with soul,
To enjoy the result afterwards!
Comfort in education and training -
The basis of motivation in learning!

It's not just me who's the teacher.,
Pets teach me too.
They always help me stay on my toes,
Keep my hand on the pulse of pedagogical science
And never lose heart!
I don’t know the boundaries between personal life and work.
Everything goes in order
Always in care.
So day after day passes.
I love my job
I'll tell you honestly!
I'm ready to endure a lot.
And there is a lot to be done!
A modern educational institution needs a modern teacher - this is the requirement of the time.
The Russian education system is undergoing a number of changes, expressed in the use of new programs and benefits, changes in the content of education and in the ways students acquire knowledge. Modern equipment and innovative technologies are part of the new educational institution.
The processes of modernization of Russian education that have been taking place in recent years have significantly changed the ideology and priorities not only in general education, but also in the education of children with developmental problems.
However, the leading role still belongs to the teacher. Accordingly, continuous self-education and self-improvement is part of the activity of a teacher-defectologist.
“The lower the level of mental development of a child, the higher the level of education should be teachers"- wrote at the beginning of the twentieth century. famous German teacher-defectologist
By teaching children, I learn myself! Only love for your professions helps you overcome difficult steps in the world teaching. My profession– this is constant learning new things and daily creativity.
I'm in constant search movement: how to show your child the world around him in an accessible way, how teach his rational thinking and to experience the warmth from our hands; how not to fade, but move forward.
In my correctional and pedagogical activities I use health-saving technologies. I work in three directions: technologies for preserving and promoting health, technologies for teaching a healthy lifestyle, correctional technologies; since the concept of modern preschool education provides for the preservation and active formation of a healthy lifestyle and health of pupils. Health-saving technologies have the most significant impact on the health of children, especially children with disabilities.
I use ICT in my work (information and communication technologies). I develop electronic educational resources in programs such as Word, Power Point, Publisher, Activ Inspire. I conduct classes in the form of games, experiments, creating problem situations, using search tasks (for example, finding something new in a group, a winter garden, an exhibition, a presentation that enriches the classes with visuals, makes it possible to hear the sounds of the surrounding world, the voices of birds and animals.
I constantly get acquainted with new discoveries in correctional pedagogy. I read modern publications and articles in pedagogical magazines. I attend and participate in methodological associations speech pathologists, seminars, conferences. I study the experience of colleagues through the global Internet, which makes it possible to expand and modernize the means of correctional work. Also, in order to improve the level professional knowledge and improvement of personal business qualities.
In recent years, the goals and objectives of education have changed greatly. Implementation of a new national project "Education" once again emphasized the importance, first of all, of the socialization of the individual. What comes to the fore is not memorized facts and theoretical knowledge, but the formation of vital practical skills. Therefore, I believe that the main thing is to help the child become a successful person. Not to form a personality, but to create conditions for the realization of his abilities; not to dictate the beaten path of knowledge, but to help learn independently solve practical problems; not to punish in case of failure, but to help overcome it by extending your hand in time.
"The only possibility teach for a child to live in existing conditions is to create conditions for him to fully master his own abilities.” Confucius.
My understanding of the mission of a teacher in modern times world:
My students are small, but they require a lot of attention. What is imparted and learned in childhood affects the entire life of a person.
Children notice everything: my mood, appearance, so you always need to be collected, well-groomed, modern. Before teach and educate, you need to win over the child, become his friend.
The personality of the teacher is the main condition and means of success in the pedagogical process.
We, educators, create the future. The success of our country and the world depends on how we work. Prestige teachers consists of its general culture and professional competence, which constantly need to be fed. First of all, the teacher himself must improve. An increase in information flow, the use of new technologies - all these are the realities of today. My educational philosophy is teach children to believe in themselves, understand and respect others, and this can only be achieved through the co-creation of the teacher and the child.
Like ordinary children, a child with special educational needs has the right to receive qualified pedagogical assistance, which can only be provided by a specially trained speech pathologist. For successful teaching activities in the structure of special education, conventional pedagogical training is absolutely insufficient.
Professional The activities of a teacher-defectologist go beyond the traditional teaching activities, closely interacting and intertwining with various types of socio-pedagogical, rehabilitation, advisory and diagnostic, psychotherapeutic, correctional and other types "Not teacher's room» activities, being aimed at one goal - assisting a person with disabilities in his social adaptation and integration through the means of special education.
A teacher-defectologist is a person with a special mindset, active, proactive, energetic, confident in the successful outcome of his professional activities, friendly and tactful. It is characterized by a humane assessment of the role of man in the modern world, including people with disabilities.
In modern education of children with developmental problems teacher- a defectologist performs a special mission, in which two interconnected ones can be distinguished component: humanistic and social.
The humanistic component involves providing qualified assistance to children with developmental problems, revealing and realizing their potential.
The social component is associated with ensuring the preparation of a child with disabilities for life in society, which is associated with influencing the public consciousness of people, in order to foster a tolerant attitude towards people with special abilities. This, in turn, develops the moral consciousness of modern society and makes it possible for the successful socialization of children and adults with developmental problems.
On me, like on teacher-defectologist, is entrusted with a special mission and enormous responsibility for providing each child with high quality correctional and educational services, taking into account his individual needs.
