This article presents a study on organising remote speech therapy work with children aged 1–3 years in Russia and abroad. Contemporary correctional pedagogy shows growing interest in this topic due to multiple factors: socio-political, economic, geographical, technological and others. The relevance lies in the need for theoretical understanding and developing methodological foundations for providing remote speech therapy assistance to young children and their parents. The article aims to study the experience of speech therapists in conducting remote sessions with children aged 1–3 years and to identify specific features that emerge during online work. The study establishes the following objectives: to examine published research on organising early childhood education using digital technologies, to systematise the obtained data, and to determine specific characteristics of correctional assistance. The research is based on analysis and synthesis of official documents and literary sources, applying the analogy method within an interdisciplinary approach. The article presents current legislative acts that form contemporary requirements for speech therapist training, provides an overview and analysis of research on the topic, enabling identification of specific features in this area of speech therapy practice. The research results present conclusions about features of remote work with this category of children that must be considered when training future speech therapists. The outcome substantiates the position that speech therapists require additional professional training to work remotely with young children.
