The main objective of the text is to present the applied program of therapy and selected techniques of speech therapy, enhanced with analysis of difficulties appearing during many years of speech therapy practice connected with school learning and changing the anatomical conditions of the patient. The presented case study involves a 9‑year period, while a 4.5‑year period of therapy is described of a child from the age of 7 to nearly 12 years and her further development to the age of 16. Thanks to the use of verification diagnosis, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of activities undertaken in the area of language development.
