Irina Saidkhodjaeva
Speech Therapist
Irina Anatolyevna Saidkhodjaeva graduated from the Shymkent Pedagogical Institute of Physical Culture and from the Department of Special Education at Nizami Tashkent State Pedagogical University. She has more than 25 years of experience working with children.
"I love my profession because it lets me stay connected to the world of childhood, and because every day is unique and unpredictable. I help children learn to pronounce the sounds of Russian correctly. Working with children, I feel like I'm investing in each child's future. Being able to pronounce sounds correctly makes it easier to learn to read and write. And really, it matters for life in general, because clear, well-formed speech is one of the key conditions for a preschool-age child's full, well-rounded development. That's the core purpose of my work."
