Abstract
<jats:p>This article examines the methodological foundations for developing self-care skills in children with severe speech impairments. It explores theoretical approaches to organizing correctional and pedagogical work aimed at developing independence and social competence in preschool-age children. The psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children with severe speech impairments that influence the process of acquiring self-care skills are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the principles of systematicity, consistency, individualization, and practical orientation of training. The need for comprehensive interaction between teachers, support specialists, and parents in developing sustainable self-care skills in children is substantiated. It is concluded that the use of scientifically based methodological approaches contributes to the increased effectiveness of correctional and developmental work, successful socialization, and the preparation of children for independent living.</jats:p>
