Motor speech, dysarthria, Apraxia of speech

Motor speech disorders, such as dysarthria and apraxia of speech, can make expressing oneself clearly a daily challenge. For individuals affected by these conditions, speaking might require extra effort to produce certain sounds, leading to slurred or inconsistent speech patterns. It may sound like speech that’s difficult to understand, or where specific sounds seem jumbled or missing. For example, some people might find themselves struggling to pronounce words with precision, needing to repeat themselves to be understood, or experiencing frustration in group conversations when their words aren’t clear. These challenges can affect everything from social interactions to professional communications, making it difficult to feel confident and understood.

Our speech therapy for motor speech disorders is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, with tools like ultrasound to provide a visual of how the tongue moves during speech, along with a variety of other targeted techniques. In therapy, we work on improving the clarity of sounds, strengthening muscle coordination, and developing patterns that support more accurate and consistent speech. This approach is practical, patient-centered, and tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, helping clients make progress they can hear and feel in their daily lives. Our goal is to make speech as functional and effortless as possible, with support that’s grounded in science and compassionate care.

With motor speech therapy, our clients gain more than improved speech—they regain confidence in their voice and communication skills, which opens up new possibilities for connection and expression. Every small step forward builds self-assurance, and through consistent support, we aim to help clients feel more in control of their communication.
