general information

The opening of the Department of Special Pedagogy and Psychology at VGSPU is directly related to the names of Vladimir Ivanovich Lubovsky, Academician of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences and Professor, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences Natalia Mikhailovna Nazarova. In 1992, N.M. Nazarova contributed to the creation of new defectological faculties in pedagogical universities in Russia, the coordination of their work, the development of the first generations of state educational standards for higher education in special pedagogy and psychology. In 1995, at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Methods of Primary Education and Preschool Education, a correspondence speech therapy department was opened at the Voronezh State Pedagogical University.
In September 2000, the Department of Special Pedagogy and Psychology was opened, headed by Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences Sergey Veniaminovich Kargin. The creation of the department made it possible to expand the training of specialists in various areas of defectology due to the growing need for them in Volgograd and the region. Specialties are being opened: special preschool pedagogy and psychology at the hospital, deaf pedagogy and oligophrenopedagogy at the correspondence department, where mainly teachers are accepted who are already working with children with developmental problems, but who do not have a special education.
Since September 2002, after the tragic death of Professor Kargin S.V., Professor Yarikova S.G. became the head of the department. The department continues to cooperate with the defectological faculty of Moscow State Pedagogical University. To a large extent, thanks to the support of Dean Puzanov B.P. and professors Rechitskaya E.G. and Konyaeva N.P. The training of students in the specialties of oligophrenopedagogy and deaf pedagogy is successfully underway. Currently, the department also trains bachelors in the direction of "Special (defectological) education" profiles: "Speech therapy", "Surdopedagogy", "Special psychology" and masters in the direction of "Special (defectological) education" master's program "Pedagogical support for the socialization of persons with disabilities."

The scientific and methodological decisions and actions of the complex are based on a holistic approach to the organization of the educational process, developed by teams of teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, teachers-defectologists of the department of SPP VGSPU and TsRDI "Nadezhda". UNMK was created as an experimental platform for training defectologists, for developing a mechanism that would create mutual interest and encourage creative cooperation between scientists and practitioners in the field of social protection. In accordance with this, the complex is designed to model its own microenvironment in all its facets and manifestations: the choice of backbone activities, the creation of conditions for the personal development of future specialists and the integration of disabled children into a normal community, establishing links with the environment, etc.
