Telehealth Dysarthria Therapy You Can Trust
Dysarthria can make speaking challenging due to weak or uncoordinated speech muscles, resulting in slurred speech, a soft or monotone voice, or difficulty controlling pace.
At NeuroRehab & Speech Healers, our licensed speech-language pathologists deliver expert telehealth therapy for adults across New York & New Jersey. Using evidence-based techniques, we target respiration, articulation, voice, prosody, and functional communication skills, helping you regain confidence in daily conversations and social interactions.
Understanding Dysarthria and Its Effects
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder caused by weakness or impaired coordination of speech muscles. Common causes include stroke, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and brain tumors.
Signs of dysarthria may include:
- Slurred, slow, or rapid speech
- Weak, breathy, or monotone voice
- Imprecise consonants or vowels

Early therapy improves intelligibility, enhances social and professional interactions, and boosts communication confidence.
