Abstract [eng] The article deals with disorders of development of psychomotorics of preschool children, and importance of their correction. It is hypothesized that when using movement correction exercises program the psychomotoric indicators of 3-4 year old preschool children with speech disorders will improve more than the indicators of older preschool children with the same disorders. Twenty eight 3-4 year old (Group I) and twenty eight 5-6 year old (Group II) preschoolers with speech disorders participated in this research. By experiment it was tried to fi nd out the infl uence of movement correction programme on psychomotorics of preschool children with speech disorders. The programme of movement correction exercises was used for Group I and Group II of preschoolers for fi ve months. Afterwards the changes in posture, coordination and functions of body movements of preschoolers of Group I and Group II were assessed. The data were compared with initial data. The results of the experiment showed that the indicators of functions of posture, coordination and body movements in Group I and Group II of preschool children changed very slightly. However, the analysis of the data showed that the changes in posture were slightly more signifi cant in Group I of preschool children than in Group II. The analysis of coordination samples revealed that when using movement correction program there were changes in all age groups. However, more signifi cant changes in coordination samples were noticed in Group I of preschool children. It is noteworthy that the infl uence of exercise programme on functions of body movements was very small. Slightly more pronounced changes were again found in Group I of children. The reason of such outcomes may be quite a short duration of use of movement correction programme. It follows that the hypothesis was proven.
