The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin boasts the oldest speech therapy centre in our country - currently, it is the Chair of Speech Therapy and Applied Linguistics.

While preparing a two-volume monograph, dr hab. Aneta Domagała, prof. UMCS and dr hab. Urszula Mirecka, prof. UMCS invited outstanding specialists from leading academic centres in Poland, recognized researchers and practitioners from various environments to cooperate. This is a joint achievement of many people, serving the development of Polish speech therapy - the intention was to present the issues in the area of ​​preschool and early childhood speech therapy, which are still of the utmost importance if one takes into account the current system of speech therapy and formal solutions that define the scope of specialist activities for practitioners.
