The article gives an account of the course of a long-term speech therapy of a child with a suspected diagnosis of the Landau-Kleffner syndrome. The author provides the specifics of this boy’s speech and methods of work on improving its operation and communication. She proves that neither severe dysfunction nor late time of starting such an effective therapy precludes possible progress. She also notes that constant and systematic continuation of work on the development of child’s speech by parents at home largely contributes to the therapeutic success.Key words: Landau-Kleffner syndrome, speech therapy, epilepsy, motor aphasia
