Problem of the dyslalia is the main target of this graduation thesis . It's based on the value of dyslalia 1. st. school year. The teoretical part provides knowledges, which deales with this issue. It's especially based on the basic terms: communication, communication disorder, communication with the relationship to RVP PV a RVP ZV. The main part of the teoreticial part pursue of the komplex proccesing dyslalia problem (classification, symptomatology, etiology, diagnosis and therapy), graduation thesis is also pursue of dyslalia problems and it's possible impacts on life (dyslalia and school, children with impaired articulation and teacher, dyslalia's social and psychological consequences). The practical part is prepared on the basis of the survay. For this survay it was used the quantitative research methods. The Survay respondents were student's parents. Determine approximate values of dyslalia occurrence in the first school year was the main target of this practical part.

This thesis deals with detection of speech disorders. One of the aims of this thesis is choosing suitable parameterization: short-time energy, zero-crossing rate, linear predictive analysis, perceptual linear predictive analysis, RASTA method, cepstral analysis and mel-frequency cepstral coefficient can be chosed for detections. Next aim is construction of detector of speech disorders based on DTW (Dynamic Time Warping) and artificial neuron network. Single detection proceeds on the base of collected tokens from chosen analysis and phonetic transcription of speech. Analyses, detector and phonetic transcription of Czech language are implemented in simulation environment of MATLAB.

This master's thesis deals with the communication disorder dyslalia in adult's age. Firstly brings components of speech intervention, especially speech therapy. Secondly describes dyslalia, its etiology, classification, diagnosis and prevention. Mostly this thesis deals with dyslalia therapy and its adults specifics. It gives examples of usable therapeutic materials in the Czech Republic also abroad. Thesis also judges the situation of adult's therapeutic materials on the market. The main intention was to create a therapeutic material for adults with dyslalia diagnosis. It was created 100 worksheets for frequently disturbed Czech sounds (L, R, Ř, Č, Š, Ž, C, S, Z, ČŠŽ / CSZ). These worksheets were practiced and evaluated by several clinicians. KEYWORDS: therapeutic materials, adult`s age, dyslalia, speech therapy

The diploma thesis "Manifestations in the language levels of the 1st grade pupils of the regular elemntary school" consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part deals with general terms from the area of speech and language development, describes the development of motor skills, auditory and visual perception. Furthermore, it describes individual language levels and the most common types of speech disorders encountered in primary school pupils. The research part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of speech manifestations on individual levels of pupils of the first grade of the regular elementary school. The partial aim of the research is to analyze the gross, fine and oromotorics of the examined children, to analyze their auditory and visual perception and to analyze the quality of all language levels. KEYWORDS: communication ability, language levels, motor skills, dyslalia

Title: Pronunciation Validation in Speech Therapy Application Author: Bc. Patrik Černý Institute: Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics Supervisor: Mgr. Nino Peterek, Ph.D., Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics Abstract: A goal of this thesis is to design, create and test speech validation method based on current speech recognition algorithms. Resulting software is a speech therapy application for sounds or words training with feedback about pronunciation accuracy. Speech validation is based on CMUSphinx tools and on inaccurate pronunciation generation (using phonetic dictionary). Records with accurate and inaccurate pronunciations has been collected for training and testing purposes. It has been shown, that this design is not appropriate. Thanks to the software design, application can be easily extended by techniques, that could improve validation efficiency. Keywords: speech validation, word recognition, dyslalia, speech therapy appli- cation

This thesis outlines the problem of the influence of English language development in preschool articulation. The theoretical part is devoted to the development of speech and articulation, as I present a comparison between the formation of Czech and English sounds. The third chapter describes the problems of articulation disorders including articulation problems most common in preschool children. Conclusion theoretical part consists of chapter, which deals with teaching English in kindergarten. Evaluates the pros and cons of this teaching. As part of the research in the practical part of the thesis I focused on the examination of language pre-school children. Important was also the interview with the English teacher. The aim of my thesis was to evaluate the level of articulation in preschool children receiving instruction in English language. Survey I conducted twice at intervals of six months. The results rather confirmed my suspicion that the development can be influenced by the pronunciation of English teaching at preschool age.

The diploma thesis called "Aids in speech therapy of dyslalia" consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part is devoted to the general concept of logopedic intervention, dyslalia and all components of logopedic intervention in this impaired communication ability. There is also described the classification of speech aids according to various authors and some selected aids. Views on their use can be different even among the experts. These aids are also included to the practical part, which, through a questionnaire survey, examined the views of clinical logopedists on these aids and their use. Research provides an overview of the use of these aids in the practice of respondents and shows that their view on them varies in some areas. KEYWORDS Dyslalia, clinical speech therapist, impaired communication ability, speech aid, speech therapy.

The purpose of this final thesis is to find out about Speech Therapy and to design a device which would help with oscillation of human tongue when the sound r is pronounced. To better understand this subject first part of this thesis takes interest in evolution and physiology of human speech. Next the most common articulation disorder Dyslalia is named and methods for treating Dyslalia are described. In practical part the device for Speech Therapy is designed and created. It is based on frequency of human tongue oscillations and it helps to correct difficulties with sound r articulation. This prototype uses electric motor which is controlled by Arduino platform. Its rotational motion is converted to linear through mechanical construction simulating crank mechanism.

Speech is one of the basic forms of human communication and disruption of communication ability can negatively affect the life of man. deals with the elaboration of logopedic theory, which serves as a basis for the follow-up design and application creation in the field of speech therapy. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter deals with the history of speech therapy with an emphasis on domestic logopaedia, the logopedic intervention process in its entirety, and the differentiation of individual types of impaired communication skills. The second chapter focuses on a specific disruption of communication skills - dyslalia.The application for the treatment of dyslalia is determined by the application, which is elaborated in the third chapter. The fourth chapter contains a detailed description of the designed and created application, including an explanation of the processes running in the application when the application is being used. The last chapter of this diploma thesis contains a summary of the results of the practical testing of the application together with suggestions for improvement of the application.

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of phonological abilities of children with dyslalia in preschool age. The main goal of the thesis lies therefore in the analysis of the phonological abilities of the stated target group. Based on the main goal, partial objectives and research questions were defined. A method of qualitative research strategy - a case study was used to fulfil the objectives of the thesis. To gather the data, test methods and analysis of the available documents were used. To create a comprehensive picture of the monitored children, the methods mentioned above were supplemented with an interview with a clinical speech therapist. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the empirical part. The theoretical part consists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with the definition of key terms such as communication, communication skills, as well as the development of speech, language and communication. In this chapter, attention is paid also to a preschool child. The second chapter describes the issue of phonological abilities, which are presented in the context of the phonetic- phonological language level. The last chapter looks into the issue of dyslalia. The empirical part is then devoted to the description of the whole process of the research survey....
