Motor Speech Disorders
-
A motor speech disorder is present when a child or adult struggles to produce speech because of problems with motor planning or muscle tone needed to speak.
-
There are two major types of motor speech disorders: dysarthria and apraxia
-
Apraxia or dysarthria may occur in children as a part of development and in-born neurological differences or in adults as the result of injuries, neurological changes or illnesses.
-
Apraxia of speech, whether acquired or developmental, involves a difficulty in planning, sequencing and/or coordinating relevant muscles or muscle groups for speech production.
-
Dysarthria, whether acquired or developmental involves a disturbance in muscle control that results in weakness, slowness and/or in coordination in speech production.
