Does your child's speech sound slurred or hard to understand?
Dysarthria affects the muscles used for talking and eating, making them too weak or too tight. It's common in children with Down syndrome, autism, and other developmental conditions.
Traditional speech therapy doesn't address the root muscle issues. That's why we use specialized techniques and Talk Tools, therapy tools that help strengthen weak muscles or release tight ones, improving both speech clarity and your child's ability to chew and swallow safely.
If you think your child has muscle weakness or tension affecting their speech or eating, contact us for a motor speech evaluation https://www.livelytherapyfl.com/
