Motor speech disorders (Dysarthria & Apraxia)
Motor speech disorders like dysarthria and apraxia affect speech clarity due to muscle weakness or difficulty coordinating movements. I offer comprehensive assessments and personalized therapy to improve articulation, voice control & clarity. Treatment includes targeted exercises, compensatory strategies & if needed, augmentative communication tools to help clients communicate more effectively.
Improving clarity, rhythm, and control of speech
These include dysarthria (weak muscles affecting speech) and apraxia (difficulty planning speech movements), often caused by stroke, Parkinson’s, or brain injury.
We conduct thorough evaluations of speech strength, precision, and coordination to guide therapy planning.
Techniques include breath support exercises, articulatory drills, pacing strategies, and prosody training.
We may recommend visual cues, speech rhythm apps, or low-tech communication aids when needed.
Speech clarity is improved not just through exercises but also by reducing frustration and improving overall communication satisfaction.
