Current situation of social development, social and pedagogical conditions in the system of general and professional education are stated to characterize general tendency of would-be speech therapists training for teaching children with speech disorders. In the framework of the first tendency, interdisciplinary integration in the educational process is understood as the education and upbringing of children with speech impairments in institutions of the general education system, together with normally developed children, in order to create appropriate conditions in a single educational space. In the second trend, the idea of fundamentalization implies the depth and breadth of general scientific, philosophical, general cultural and specialized knowledge. The third tendency is related to the solution of two main problems: building a system of students' knowledge that is necessary and sufficient for their mastering basics of professional activity; search of ways of realization of practical needs, value orientations of students in the process of theoretical knowledge formation; finding ways to expand the use of theoretical knowledge in students' practical work. The fourth trend is to focus on a humanistic strategy in professional training at a higher education institution, which is seen as a fundamentally new approach based on the humanization of the entire education system as a whole, as well as the need to recognize the existence of children with speech impairment, to accept them as a reality, to be a given society, to give them the status of full members and, accordingly, to form a professional readiness of speech therapist for subject and subjective interaction and communication with them. In the framework of the fifth tendency we consider informatization of education through the sphere of scientific and practical activity of a specialist, aimed at applying methods and means of collecting, storing, processing and disseminating information for systematization of existing and formation of new knowledge in the framework of achievement of psychological and pedagogical goals of education and upbringing children with speech disorders. The sixth trend is characterized by continuous education, which is based on the future speech therapist basic training (knowledge, skills), and is the basis for further formation of readiness for professional activity, and the goals of professional development are determined by social needs and personal requests. In the context of the seventh trend, innovative approaches to specialist training are divided into two main types: modernization and transformation.
