Dysarthria <\/a>may want to express their thoughts and feelings, but even this can be done through very few words or simple speech. Think through questions before you ask them and find ways you can simplify speech. Patience is always important, so try not to be in a hurry and take your time during conversations with people with Dysarthria.\u00a0\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\nCommunication is a challenge for people with Dysarthria. Some people may be trying to get to the point where they are speaking regularly again, whereas others are trying to find new ways to communicate, given their changed situation. Physical therapy and speech therapy are important, but it doesn\u2019t take an expert to aid someone with Dysarthria on the path to communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have patience when speaking with someone with Dysarthria, and try to avoid situations that are stressful and which will require haste. Ask simple questions and avoid finishing sentences for people with Dysarthria, unless they ask you to. Have a pen and paper handy and use technology to facilitate voice communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social media can be a door to a brand new world for dysarthria suffers, so encourage them to text and communicate online as well. No single method will work for everyone, so try different strategies that will improve communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
