Course Description

This course aims to introduce students to motor speech disorders (dysarthria). Within this context, students will understand, discuss, and analyze the neurological basis of motor speech disorders. They will describe methods for assessing motor speech disorders, classify different types of dysarthria, conduct interviews, gather patient information, and design interventions for individuals with motor speech disorders. Additionally, students can analyze/differentiate dysarthria and utilize specific assessment measures (tests). Finally, they will be able to explain the psychosocial implications of dysarthria and the role of interdisciplinary teams in intervention.
