Dysanthria is a speech difficulty caused by neurological damage, which reduces the control of the muscles used for speaking, including the lips, tongue, vocal cords, and breathing muscles.
This neurological damage often resulted from a stroke, brain injury, or other medical conditions which affect the nervous system.
A person with this condition may experience difficulties such as slurred, slow, soft, or unclear speech. They may find it hard to control their voice, pronounce words clearly, or maintain a steady flow of speech.
With early support and the right guidance, individuals can gradually improve their communication abilities and feel more confident in daily interactions.
