USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ARTICULATION EXERCISES FOR SPEECH DISORDERS

Abstract

This article explores the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in articulation exercises for children with speech disorders. Speech development is a key aspect of early childhood education, and articulation difficulties can significantly affect communication and learning outcomes. AI-based tools, including speech recognition, interactive mobile applications, and adaptive learning systems, provide innovative opportunities for personalized correction and practice. These technologies allow children to receive immediate feedback on pronunciation, monitor progress, and engage in motivating, game-like training environments. The study highlights how AI can support speech therapists and educators by automating repetitive exercises, offering individualized learning trajectories, and tracking improvements over time. International experiences in speech therapy supported by AI are examined, and practical recommendations for implementation in the Kazakhstani context are provided. The findings demonstrate that AI integration enhances the efficiency of articulation training, supports inclusive education, and contributes to the overall development of communication skills in children with speech disorders.
