By enhancing the intelligibility of speech, individuals with dysarthric speech will be more able to be understood by both humans and machines. Based Dysarthria is a speech motor disorder usually resulting in a substantive decrease in speech intelligibility by the general population.

Informally assess carryover frequently. Pam Enderby, in Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2013. Although there are many accounts of appropriate oro‐facial and articulation exercises and treatment hierarchies for clients with dysarthria following stroke, there is little evidence relating to the efficacy of such therapy and little or no information indicating either the extent or the frequency with which these exercises should be practised for optimum effect. Level. but rather a relative quantity that depends on variables such as test material, personnel, Dysarthria is a communication disorder resulting from acquired progressive neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease [].Dysarthria could have an impact on the overall communication ability, speech intelligibility, and an individual’s ability to participate and interact in daily life situations.

It involves increasing muscle tone and strength, increasing range of motion, rate of speech and treating other parameters that affect intelligibility.
