  sitting in a chair with a slightly thrown head back on the headrest;


• 
  semi-sitting position in the chair;


• 
  a mother in her arms if the child is afraid.

The required number of courses is determined by the severity of the deviations. The duration of one session is from 5 to 30 minutes. Before carrying out logomassage it is necessary to adjust the child to a positive way, to calm, to find an approach. For the first time, the time should be minimal (5 minutes).

Probe speech therapy language massage by Novikova

The famous speech therapist E. Novikova independently developed a unique kind of massage, during which the lips, cheekbones, soft palate and tongue are massaged. The process is carried out using eight probes. Massage is a simple enough, but very effective way of eliminating the problem of the functioning of the speech apparatus in the child. The technique is thought out in such a way that each probe processes certain affected parts, which helps to reanimate them.

Before the procedure, it is necessary to conduct a detailedexamination of the condition of the cheeks, lips, tongue and soft palate. Based on the findings, conclusions are drawn, and the degree of dysfunction is established. Further, the doctor is already in a position to report on the terms that will be needed to fully restore the functions. Despite the detailed instructions and explanations to the method, the specialist must have extensive knowledge and experience. Parents also require regular visits to the doctor and elementary discipline.
