The article represents the results of neurocognitive development study in progress. Clinical methods of investigation are supplemented with examination of children with Russian computer psychophysiological complex “Psichomat”, which allows to examine a number of cognitive functions — perception, attention, memory, visual-motor coordination, processes of analysis and synthesis — in mathematical function expression: milliseconds and percentage of mistakes. A child’s intrauterine and postnatal development is determined by various factors. Cognitive processes, which are ascending accordingly to a child’s age, play significant role in social development. The standard charts of children psychoneurological development, worked out by the authors, must become key factors both for pediatricians of different subspecialities and for parents and psychologists, in order not to miss the beginning of some pathology condition — from development delay to retardation. During the analysis of cognitive status of a child, speech development, behavior and emotions should be assessed. The deficiency of cognitive functions causes difficulties in education and contact with a child, which in some cases leads to formation of syndromal pathological conditions and disease entities (from mild development delays to different stages of oligophrenia). It is necessary to educate pediatricians of various subspecialities and pediatric neurologists the methods of children examination in order to determine the “cognitive profile” according to the age, health condition, presence of somatic and/or psychoneurological diseases and influence of the drug therapy both on a child’s organism and cognitive processes.

IntroductionOver 20% of patients with developmental delay (DD) has copy number variations (CNV) of unknown significance. Some CNV may be associated with disease in a patient and also present in their apparently healthy parents. According to the two-hit model another CNV may contribute to phenotypic variation of such genomic disorders.ObjectivesDD diagnostics improvement.AimsUnderstanding the pathogenic significance of concomitant 3q13.31 and 22q13.32-q13.33 microdeletions.MethodsRing chromosome 22 was first detected by conventional cytogenetics. Microdeletions at 3q13.31 and 22q13.32–q13.33 were revealed by agilent technologies 60 K microarray and confirmed by qPCR. Ring chromosome was confirmed by FISH.ResultsWe present a four-year-old girl with del22q13.32-q13.33 resulted in a ring chromosome 22 and a single TUSC7 gene microdeletion at 3q13.31. The del22q13.32-q13.33 originated de novo, whereas del3q13.31 was inherited from healthy mother. The 22q13.32-q13.33 locus is associated with Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PHMDS, OMIM 606232). The patient demonstrated features both typical for the syndrome (psychomotor and speech development delay, autistic signs, aggression, sleep alteration, seizures) and atypical – attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ventriculomegaly, and reduced size of cerebella hemispheres (Dandy-Walker variant). ADHD and ventriculomegaly were previously described in patients with del3q13.31 (OMIM 615433) but Dandy-Walker variant was observed in our patient for the first time. Possibly, atypical for PHMDS features, may result from trans-epistasis of microdeletions.ConclusionsMultiple CNVs in one patient complicate genotype-phenotype correlations due to possible overlapping phenotypes and/or modifying effect of variants. This study was supported by Russian Science Foundation, grant no. 16-15-10231.

The article discusses the psychological and pedagogical approach to accompanying young children with delayed speech development (delay in speech development manifests itself in a slower pace of mastering native speech by children under three years of age, underdevelopment of the vocabulary, lack of formation of expressive speech, lack of phrasal and coherent speech etc.). The purpose of the study is to develop a program of psychological and pedagogical support for young children with delayed speech development. During the testing of the program, special attention was paid to the processes of development of fine, general and articulatory motor skills of young children in various types of activity (play, cognitive, productive, communicative, etc.); the formation of mental processes (perception, thinking, memory, etc.); speech development of children (understanding of an adult’s speech, development of auditory perception, correction of sound pronunciation, formation of a passive vocabulary, an increase in the volume of an active vocabulary, development of coherent speech, grammatical structure of speech, etc.); interaction of specialists and parents of young children (teacher-psychologist, speech therapist, teachers, educators, medical personnel, etc.) using offline and online technologies (consultations, workshops, seminars, open classes, etc.). As a result of approbation of the program in young children with delayed speech development, there were positive changes in the formation of speech and non-speech functions (understanding of the speech of others, the formation of a dialogue form of speech, the development of the motor sphere, etc.).

The article deals with the issue of mastering verbal and non-verbal means of communication by young children with delayed speech development. Modern ideas about the developing capabilities of folklore, its structural and speech features are analyzed. The results of diagnostics of the level of development of speech, expressive-mimic and subject-effective means of communication, sensorimotor and motivational-need levels of speech development of young children with speech development delay are presented.

BACKGROUND: The difficulties or gross disturbance in motor development, which are diagnosed in children at an early age, are one of the prognostic markers of further problems in their speech development. AIM: This study aimed to determine the speech development of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita with upper limb deformities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Speech examination was conducted in 21 children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita preschool age (average age: 5.16 1.49 years) from 2020 to 2021. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (10 people) with children of younger and middle preschool age (average age 3.81 0.63 years) and group 2 (11 people) with children of older and preparatory preschool age (average age 6.39 0.78 years). The speech examination results were exposed to statistical analysis. RESULTS: The majority of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita had speech pathology (90.5%), whereas general speech underdevelopment dominated over speech development delay (78.9% and 21.1%, respectively). A high frequency of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (80.9%), a complicated perinatal anamnesis (57.1%), and a delay in early motor or speech development (100% and 52.4%, respectively) links with speech disorder development in the future. Patients with arthrogryposis have a large percentage of congenital pathology of the articulatory apparatus structure (57.1%). Of the children, 76.2% were with a total form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, whereas 23.8% with an isolated upper extremity lesion. No statistically significant differences were determined in the form of speech pathology between patients with various forms of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. Children of the first age group had speech disorders in 90% of cases, whereas 90.9% in group 2. Based on the form of speech pathology, patients with general speech underdevelopment and speech development delay were determined in group 1 (55.6% and 44.4%, respectively), whereas children with general speech underdevelopment in group 2 (100%). In the clinical form of speech pathology, dysarthria prevailed in children of both age groups (80%). CONCLUSIONS: Children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita with upper limb deformities have a high incidence of speech disorders. Early speech examination and speech therapy eliminated all detected disturbances.

An imbalance of trace elements plays a significant role in the etiopathogenesis of Autism Spec-trum Disorder (ASD) and Speech Development Delay (SDD). The aim of the study was to analyze an essential trace elements content in the hair samples of children with ASD and SDD for better understanding age and gender related diversity. The study included 258 children with ASD and 239 children with SDD. Control group consisted of 620 healthy children of similar age. All children were divided into two age categories (1.5 to 3 years old and 4 to 13 years old). It was shown that girls with ASD had more deviations in hair essential trace elements levels than boys. Children with ASD and SDD (1.5 to 3 years old) had significantly decreased hair iodine level (by 48-58%, p < 0.0001). Low iodine level can be a significant indicator of mental and speech development delay. Normalization of hair iodine level in older boys with ASD accompanied by significant decrease in hair cobalt level (by 24%, p = 0.0001) may reflect age-related characteristics of iodine and cobalt metabolism. Low hair manganese level (by 12-44%, p < 0.05) was observed in all groups of children. It’s possibly associated with decreased manganese excretion from the body and can provoke manganese-induced neurotoxicity. The decrease in copper levels in girls of different ages (by 9-17%, p < 0.01) is probably influenced by hormonal status and earlier onset of puberty.
