Dysarthria often involves slurred, slow, and abnormal speech patterns. This is often caused by underlying disorders that affect the muscles we use to produce speech sounds, such as the tongue, vocal cords, and the lips. Dysarthria can occur after a brain injury, in Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and many other diseases. Our clinicians provide therapies targeting motor and speech skills to build and support your capacity for communication.
