Speech and Articulation

Motor speech difficulties can include difficulty pronouncing words or sounds clearly, slurred speech, or speech that is too slow or too fast.

Dysarthria can occur after a stroke or other neurological injury. The muscles used for producing speech are weak or uncoordinated.

Apraxia is a motor planning disorder that is caused by damage to the brain. The brain knows what it wants to say, but cannot properly plan and sequence the required speech sound movements.
