Abstract. The active development of inclusive education necessitates a modernized approach to the professional training of future speech therapists. This article explores innovative methodologies and pedagogical conditions required to enhance the readiness of university students for effective speech therapy activities within an inclusive environment. The study analyzes traditional training models and proposes a comprehensive framework that integrates practical case studies, adaptive teaching strategies, and modern educational technologies. The findings indicate that improving the professional, practical, and psychological competencies of future specialists significantly increases the quality of speech and language support for children with special educational needs. The proposed recommendations aim to optimize higher education standards in the field of special pedagogy and inclusive practices.
