Dysarthria
Dysarthria is a weakness or paralysis of the muscles used for speech and results in a person's speech being slurred and difficult to understand.

The following suggestions may be helpful in communicating with a person who suffers from dysarthia:
  • Ask the person to speak slowly and overemphasize the words
  • Encourage the person to open his mouth
  • Let the person know when you don't understand and ask him to repeat
