3. Too Quick or Too Slow Speech
In addition to volume irregularities, dysarthria may be accompanied by an inability to speak at a regular pace. Some people naturally speak more quickly or more slowly based on their personality, anxiety level, culture or even their work environment.
However, if you have known someone to speak slowly and they suddenly feel an impulse to speak quickly or vice versa, their source of the change in speech may lie in the brain. It should be emphasized that the speed at which one speaks when they have dysarthria is not a deliberate choice but is the result of a neurological or issue in the brain.
Through speech therapy, a person with this condition can be taught to speak more slowly or more quickly to get the speed back at a regular level. Usually, extensive speech therapy is needed before someone who suffers from dysarthria to speak at a regular speed.
