5. Speech Therapy
Most people who suffer from dysarthria can benefit from some type of regular speech therapy to help them either regain their ability to speak regularly or to help them cope with the new situation. It is often the case that the sooner physical therapy is begun after the injury or illness, the more quickly one may start to regain his or her ability to speak or at least, deal with the situation.
Some cases of Dysarthria are temporary whereas others, especially those caused by brain injury or strokes, may be long term. Even if the prognosis of completely regaining speak is not strongly positive, physical therapy will still improve the situation to the degree that it increases confidence and can make the speech clearer.
Although speech therapists are provided at the hospital, long-term, regular speech therapy is a must for dysarthria sufferers. It is important to find a speech therapist who has experience specifically with Dysarthria.
