Aspects of preschoolers' abilities
At the age of four the practice of vocabulary and grammar starts to become very important. For four- and five-year-olds, the average vocabulary span is between 1500 and 2000 words.
Mathematical skills also come into use a great deal at this age. Preschoolers begin to recognize numbers better and understand the concept of numbers and their use.
The physical development of preschoolers should include more challenging activities. They like to do more things on their own. They love to help with anything they can and have responsibility. At this age their coordination has improved a lot and their body proportions have changed. They also become responsible for their own simple hygiene.
Preschoolers are gaining better fine motor control.

Primary School: Supporting gifted and talented children
If you have noticed that your child develops skills much quicker than children of a similar age or excels in a particular area, they may be regarded as 'gifted and talented'.
What 'gifted and talented' means
'Gifted and talented' describes children with the ability or potential to develop significantly ahead of their peers: 'gifted' learners are those with abilities in one or more academic subjects, such as maths or English. 'Talented' learners are those who have practical skills in areas such as sport, music, design or creative and performing arts
Skills and attributes such as leadership, decision-making and organization may also be taken into account.
Is my child gifted or talented?
If you think your child is gifted or talented, you should discuss their abilities and needs with their teacher or the school principal.
Your child's school has a responsibility to meet the educational needs of all their pupils, and teachers should set tasks that take account of the varying abilities of children.
If your child is considered to be gifted and talented, their teachers should provide greater challenges in lessons, and perhaps offer further opportunities for them to develop their gifts or talents outside of the normal timetable.
If your child is in primary school and shows that they have the abilities to fully participate in the next school year group, the principal may consider moving your child into that group. Your child’s emotional and social development levels and needs should be considered as well as their academic progress.
The board of governors of a primary school can decide if your child should transfer to a post-primary school a year earlier than normal. This is done on the advice of the principal and you must agree that your child should transfer early.

A speech therapist is a specialist with training in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of speech, voice, and language disorders who works with people, unable to make speech sounds or cannot make them clearly. They also work with people who stutter, have fluency and rhythm problems and speech quality problems. The most obvious speech disorder is stuttering. The speech therapist sets up a program of speech exercises to reduce the disability, and if necessary, asks for the aid of a psychologist or psychiatrist. Other disorders may result from hearing loss, stroke, cerebral palsy, mental disability, or brain injury. Speech therapists keep careful records on the evaluation and progress of patients, often developing individualized treatment programs based on the work of physicians, psychiatric social workers, and psychologists. Speech therapists must be able to work as a member of a team, which may include other healthcare specialists such as a neurologist and psychiatrist. An important part of a speech therapist's work is the counseling and support of individuals and families on speech disorders. Therapists also work with families on treatment techniques to use at home. A speech therapist's job does require patience and compassion, as progress may be slow.

What Exactly IS a Speech Therapist?
Speech therapy involves the treatment of speech and communication disorders. A certified speech pathologist must hold a master's degree. That person may work in a private setting, a clinic, a school or an institution, and may well work as part of an educational team. They use a wide range of tools and interventions, ranging from toys and play-like therapy to formal tests.
Why Would a Person With Autism Need to See a Speech Therapist?
Almost anyone diagnosed with an autism disorder will be recommended for speech therapy. This may seem odd, as many autistic people are either non-verbal or extremely verbal. But even very verbal people with Asperger Syndrome (синдром Аспергера) are likely to misuse and misunderstand language on a regular basis. And even non-verbal people can certainly develop communication skills - and may even develop spoken language skills over time.
What Does a Speech Therapist Do for People with Autism?
Speech therapy involves much more than simply teaching a child to correctly pronounce words. In fact, a speech therapist working with an autistic child or adult may work on a wide range of skills including:
Non-verbal communication. This may include teaching gestural communication, or training with PECS (picture exchange cards), electronic talking devices, and other non-verbal communication tools.
Speech pragmatics. It's good to know how to say "good morning." But it's just as important to know when, how and to whom you should say it.
Conversation skills. Knowing how to make statements is not the same thing as carrying on conversations. Speech therapists may work on back-and-forth exchange.
Concept skills. A person's ability to state abstract concepts doesn't always reflect their ability to understand them. Autistic people often have a tough time with ideas like "few," "justice," and "liberty." Speech therapists may work on building concept skills.
