Dysarthria involves weakness or reduced coordination of the speech muscles, while speech sound disorders (articulation and phonological disorders) affect how sounds are produced or organized. We also support speech intelligibility concerns and speech development following orthodontic treatment or frenectomy.

How We Approach It

Whether the barrier is muscular, planning-based, or pattern-based, our evaluation identifies which system is limiting intelligibility before deciding how to intervene — consistent with the BRIDGE Clinical Reasoning Framework™'s movement-first approach.
