The article presents the results of the research into the pace of speech of the students with oligophasia which results from the mild intellectual disability as compared to their peers with no disabilities. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the speech were analysed. The analysed criteria included: the number of syllables and phones used in the 30-second utterances, the number of pauses made and their characteristics, and the percentage of the pauses within the utterance. The material obtained in the research through the usage of Audacity software was subsequently analysed with the use of Shapiro–Wilk test and Mann–Whitney test.
