DYSARTHRIA

Dysarthria encompasses a collection of neurogenic speech disorders marked by deviations in the strength, speed, range, steadiness, tone, or precision of movements necessary for various
aspects of speech production, including breathing, phonation, resonance, articulation, and prosody.

Dysarthria symptoms manifest as:

Slurring or mumbling during speech.

Talking too rapidly or at a slower pace than intended.

Speaking either more quietly or loudly than intended.

Exhibiting a hoarse, harsh, strained, breathy, nasal, robotic, or monotone voice.

Engaging in fragmented, choppy speech with frequent pauses, rather than forming complete sentences.
