Abstract

Since antiquity, tempo-rhythmic speech disorders in the English language have been recognized, and ancient and medieval treatises (Plutarch, Aristotle, Avicenna) have addressed this issue. An extensive investigation into speech fluency disorders in the English language started in the 19th century. Treatment approaches were tested, and the causes of the disorders were primarily identified and categorized. The exact mechanism underlying the onset and progression of tempo-rhythmic disorders of the English language, particularly stuttering, remains unclear despite the best efforts of numerous scientists. This is linked to illness relapses and the potential loss of positive dynamics following remedial training. An overview of techniques for treating children's tempo and rhythm disorders of speech is provided in this article. The authors focus on methods related to rhythmization of speech, selecting the best speaking tempo and intonation at the first stage of correction, and employing technical means that are in the contentious area of foreign studies.
