This article analyzes the scientific, theoretical, and practical foundations of technologies for correcting speech disorders based on developmental games. The study highlights the importance of game-based technologies, their psychological and pedagogical potential, and their effectiveness in speech therapy for eliminating speech disorders in preschool and primary school children. It also examines the role of articulation exercises, games for developing phonemic hearing, tasks for expanding vocabulary, didactic games for forming coherent speech, and methods for activating communicative activity in corrective education. The article substantiates the possibilities of speech therapy sessions organized on the basis of developmental games in improving children’s speech activity, pronunciation accuracy, auditory differentiation, and communication skills. The findings of the study have significant scientific and practical value for improving technologies for correcting speech disorders and introducing innovative approaches into speech therapy practice.
