Speech Disorders

Human beings express their selves orally through thoughts, feelings and ideas to each other in a series of complex movements by voice into specific, decodable sounds. Speech is precisely produced by coordinated muscle actions in the head, neck, chest and abdomen. Speech development is a process that requires years of practice. And during such process, a child learns how he can regulate the muscles to produce understand speech.



Knowledge and Research in speech have showed many people of different kinds suffering from multiple sorts of speech disorders but due to the awareness and associations the speech disorder has been taken care. The disorders of articulation among children were very frequent numerically. The types of speech disorders are stuttering, cluttering, Articulation, Dysprosody, Phonetic, Phonemic.


However, the research shows that experience in countries like Germany, Austria, and other Central European countries follow similar pattern among other Western nations. Stuttering is more frequent in northern countries, such as in Scandinavia which is in southern region. And further similar trends have been notices in the Far East. Emotional, functional and Non organic disorders of voice and speech reflect psychological tensions exerted by the environment because of this the vocal nodules, contact ulcer etc occurred with greater incidence in metropolitan areas which is comparatively less frequent in rural areas.
