Motor learning for articulation: Focus and feedback.
What are motor speech disorders? A motor speech disorder is present when a child 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. What is dysarthria? Dysarthria, often called slurred speech, is defined as slow, imprecise, and distorted speech that is the result of.
Signs and symptoms of articulation and phonological disorders Articulation disorders. Articulation refers to making sounds. The production of sounds involves the coordinated movements of the lips, tongue, teeth, palate (top of the mouth) and respiratory system (lungs). There are also many different nerves and muscles used for speech. If your child has an articulation disorder, they: have.
Articulation disorders should not be confused with motor speech disorders, such as Dysarthria (in which there is actual paralysis of the speech musculature) or Childhood Apraxia of Speech (in which motor planning is severely impaired). It is necessary to note the difference between articulation disorders and dialectical variations. There are.

Acquired motor speech disorders are changes to voice and speech associated with damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems. This includes disorders associated with the nerve-muscle junction, e.g. myasthenia gravis and with muscle function, e.g. muscular dystrophies. Severity may range from 'changes imperceptible to listeners but felt by speakers' through to 'absence of any speech or.
Oral-Motor Therapy is based on the rationale that deficient oral-motor control or strength may be causing poor articulation and that it is necessary to teach control of the articulators for correct production of speech sounds. Goals of an oral-motor approach include increasing the child’s awareness of the oral mechanism and its parts, normalizing oral-tactile sensitivity, inhibiting abnormal.
This study was designed to examine the relationship between articulation disorders, soft neurological signs, and motor abilities. Fifteen children with articulation problems, as measured by the Templin-Darley Articulation Screening Test and a connected speech sample, were compared with a normal control group (matched for sex and age) on the Quick Neurological Screening Test, the Imitation of.
