The main conclusions. Most pre-school teachers focus on the quality of education, when it is mandatory to adapt the content of pre-school education for children with special educational needs. They seek to share their knowledge and experience with speech therapists, to pursue professional development. Most pedagogues use individual forms of cooperation with speech therapists, where the education of children with special needs is discussed through individual conversations, during individual consultations or informal meetings. Pedagogues and speech therapists also use group forms of cooperation (for example, group meetings and consultations). The most common obstacles to cooperation with speech therapists are the heavy workload and the lack of suitable conditions for professional meetings. [From the publication]
