SUVAG polyclinic, Zagreb, 2015. Translated from Russian into Croatian by Ivanka Jurjević-Grkinić.
| The textbook by Ludmila Rulenkova has been published in Moscow in 2011, now translated into Croatian. The Russian edition was published in Moscow in 2011, and its Croatian translation appeared four years later, in 2015. The book deals with the verbotonal method developed at the SUVAG center in Zagreb, Croatia. The author of the method is Dr Petar Guberina, professor at the Univeristy of Zagreb, the founder and during many years the director of the SUVAG center and a member of the Academy of Sciences in Zagreb. The method began to be developed already in the 1950s, and since the early 1990s it began to be used in the Russian Federation as well, due to the efforts of the staff of the SUVAG center in Zagreb. Especially important role in its implementation in the Russian Federation (first in Yakutia, in Far East Siberia) had Mladen Lovrić, who was among the closest collaborators of academician Guberina. The verbotonal method has been successfully tested on hundreds of deaf children in various parts of the Russian Federation during the past twenty five years (since the early 1990s), and is now everyday use in various institutions in this country, and is being taught at several universities. Mrs Ludmila Rulenkova visited the SUVAG centre in Zagreb on several occations, already in 1990s. However, the earliest proponent of the verbotonal method in the Russian Federation allready in the early 1990s was Mrs Zinaida Semenovna Maksimova: ![]() Mrs Zinaida Semenovna Maksimova is currently the director
of the Neryungri SUVAG Center in Yakutia. The name of SUAVG is coined from the French expression Systeme Universelle d’Audition Guberina (Universal Method of Audition of Guberina), and is now in global use, in more than 70 countries. It is estimated that there are about 600 SUVAG centers throughout the world. ![]() The book has 192 pp, 14.5 x 21.5 cm, softcover, with figures, photos
and numerous drawings and diagrams. The Croatian edition of Rulenkova’s book represents a very nice contribution to the existing literature dealing with various problems of deafness. We congratulate the author of the book, Mrs Ludmila Rulenkova, as well as to the SUVAG center in Zagreb which initiatied its translating into Croatian language. |

Руленкова: для социальной адаптации глухих детей надо учить говорить
– Развитие речи при отсутствии слуха – какие здесь есть методики? – Уникален в этом плане верботональный метод – где развивают слуховое восприятие ребёнка и на его основе устную речь; уделяется этому внимание и в методике Эмилии Леонгард по развитию речевого слуха; в классической методике и билингвизме используется дактилология (пальчиковая азбука) и жесты. Если методик много – у родителей появляется выбор, но многие учреждения заимствуют отдельные технологии, а для достижения эффекта курс должен внедряться в системе. Это принципиально для обеспечения успеха реабилитации. К примеру, часто директора школ заявляют, что используют верботональный метод, ограничиваясь лишь покупкой аппаратуры. В комплекс обучения должна входить и фонетическая ритмика, и музыкальная стимуляция, и групповая и индивидуальная работа. Должны быть грамотные специалисты – многие наши педагоги прошли обучение по этому методу у его разработчиков в Загребе (Хорватия). Source ria.ru ***
