Abstract :The current scientific research conducted on the basis of many disciplines of knowledge interested in speech issues and observations of speech therapy practice indicate the constantly increasing scale of the phenomenon of speech disorders in the quantitative and qualitative context. Therefore, issues related to prevention, early diagnosis, as well as effective speech therapy support for children, adolescents or adults experiencing difficulties in acquiring and applying speech become extremely important. It is the metapragmatic aspect that is the subject of these considerations regarding one of the methods of improving perceptual-motor functions. Communication is are of the most important categories of human life being both the expression and condition of social life. With the increasing participation of any individual in the society, the interactive efficiency is formed and developed. It allows a man to exist in a social group, understand the relationships among the participants of social life and successfully accomplish their own objectives. Any disorders at the level of language development cause difficulties in the cognitive sphere, as language is a tool of cognition, as well as in the sphere of communication. The article deals with issues related to limitations and barriers in language communication resulting from various disorders of neurophysiological, anatomical, mental or social origin, as well as from improper formation of patterns of orofacial reflexes. Selected kinesiotherapeutic methods, conducive to the improvement of articulation, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, as well as the morphological and functional state of the whole organism, were also presented. The article presents issues connected with intentional, systematic and comprehensive stimulation of language development in children. The authors emphasise the importance of parental role in the process. They claim it is necessary that parents are provided with specialist support from doctors, psychologists, teachers and speech therapists. Each pedagogical activity, in order to be effective and properly shaped overall individual development, forces planned, intentional and regular cooperation of various environments, as the education is about, on one side, direct influence on a person by supporting her in a natural and spontaneous development, and on the other, about influencing by consciously used actions.
