Abstract


Speech is considered to be a very effective and developed means of communication. Speech disorders or speech impediments are a type of disorders, where 'normal' speech is disturbed. Someone who is unable to speak due to a speech disorder is considered mute. All children seem slow in the early stages of learning language, but some children continued with the some problems. Speech disorders describe children whose speech and language is developing abnormally. Sometimes, however, the message might be affected by physiological or psychological factors, becoming incoherent for the listener. This paper presents the types of disorders, especially focused on the fluency disorders where artificial recognition and disfluency identification are considered to be complicated and complex, and also discussed about the training methods used in the pattern – matching approach to automatic speech recognition which can be used for fluency disorder therapy especially for the stuttering people.
