title: Factors determining the efficiency of logopaedic care of children in Poland.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to establish factors which determine the efficiency of the system of care provided to children with speech disorders attending regular schools and kindergartens. The analysis was made using Poland as an example, which, similar to other countries, has made some achievements in this matter. Although Poland has had an institutionalised care system for children with speech development anomalies for 30 years, the problem of speech disorders is still very difficult to solve. Due to the large scale of the phenomenon among Polish children, this problem can be defined as a social problem in this country. The above-described situation makes it necessary to search for methods of fighting this adverse phenomenon. One of the means of solving this problem is following examples and learning from the experience of countries in which efficient systems of disabled children's care have already been worked out. By giving examples from other countries the author attempts to establish factors determining the efficiency of logopaedic care.
