The article discusses the current problem of impaired understanding and use of prepositional-case constructions in younger schoolchildren with mental retardation. Violations of prepositional and case constructions create serious obstacles to the development of the educational program, the successful socialization of the child and his psychoemotional background of becoming a person. The purpose of the article was to identify specific errors and patterns of violation of prepositional-case constructions in younger schoolchildren with mental retardation. The study was conducted using the developed methodology based on the diagnostic methodology of V.A. Kovshikov with the participation of 10 primary school students with mental retardation of the federal adapted educational program according to option 7.2. Based on the analysis of the data obtained during the diagnosis, it was revealed difficulties in understanding spatial prepositions, the presence of persistent errors in the use of prepositions, a violation of the relationship between the preposition and the noun, the omission of prepositions, the use of inflections that do not correspond to the genus of nouns, specific errors in the formation of mainly dative, creative and prepositional cases. The revealed features of prepositional case management will allow us to determine the directions of speech therapy work, taking into account the manifestations of this variant of the dysontogenetic group.
