The article presents the results of an experimental study of the corrective effect of art therapy techniques on speech development disorders in preschool children. Art therapy, acting on the psycho-emotional sphere, stimulates both the speech process and the desire to speak. That is why its various types and techniques are widely used in correctional work with preschoolers with delayed speech development. In the preschool period, the formation of basic personal characteristics, worldview, attitude towards oneself and the world around us takes place. In this sense, art therapy techniques represent one of the most effective modern areas of special pedagogy and psychology in working with children of different ages, which is confirmed by numerous applied research and direct practice of their application. As a result of an empirical study, it was found that art therapy techniques applied systematically and comprehensively, taking into account the individual specifics of speech development in preschoolers, become an effective means of correcting such deviations, positively affect not only the development of speech, but also mental functions (attention, memory, thinking) and communication skills, This is confirmed by the data of a comparative analysis of their condition at the initial and final stages of the experimental study.
