Abstract: The article addresses the early prevention of speech dysonto-genesis in preterm neonates through logopedic abilitation support in the neonatal pathology unit. The research aim is to conduct a comparative assessment of effectiveness of simultaneous versus separate application of Preterm Infant Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI) and skin-to-skin contact in the structure of logopedic support directed at prevention of orofacial motor ontogenesis disorders and general speech underdevelopment. The study includes preterm neonates (gestational age < 36 weeks 6 days) assigned to three groups: simultaneous application of PIOMI and skin-to-skin contact, separate application of these methods, and a retrospective control group. The assessment tools included the POFRAS scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Spielberger-Khanin Anxiety Inventory, and an authorial mother-infant interaction questionnaire. It has been found that the simultaneous application of PIOMI and skin-to-skin contact yields a higher level of oral-motor readiness, earlier attainment of independent feeding, reduced length of hospitalization, and decreased maternal anxiety. The study reports a reliable association between the infant's oral-motor development and the mother's psycho-emotional state, which confirms the significance of the mother-infant dyad as a unified target of logopedic support. The findings show that it is necessary to integrate the simultaneous protocol of PIOMI and skin-to-skin contact into the standard of logopedic support in the neonatal pathology unit.
