The paper presents the results of the initial testing of an express exercise complex for the development of motor coordination and postural control in children with auditory-speech impairments, aimed at their independent training with the support of their parents. The experimental group included 11 boys aged 4 to 7 years with sensorineural hearing loss of the 2nd and 3rd degree, two of whom used hearing aids. All children had difficulties in implementing coordinated movements and maintaining balance. To overcome them, an express training complex of 8 exercises was developed. Classes with children for 2 months were conducted by parents under the remote supervision of a physical rehabilitation specialist. Analysis of video materials obtained during the exercise before and after the training course showed positive changes in motor coordination and control over vertical posture in all children from the experimental group. The effectiveness of the complex was confirmed by reports prepared by parents who participated in the testing. They included additional information on the increase in communicative and speech activity in a significant part of children (73% in the group), as well as on the improvement of facial expressions. Positive results of testing, compactness of the complex and the possibility of its successful use in the format of independent work at home allow us to recommend it for use in the accompaniment and rehabilitation of children with hearing loss. Experimental assessment of the impact of the complex on motor coordination, balance and speech communication will be continued with an increase in the sample of hearing-impaired children, as well as preschoolers with other developmental disorders and manifestations of vestibular dysfunction.
