Language impairment is very common in MS. Speech patterns are controlled by many areas of the brain, especially the brain stem. Lesions (damaged areas) in various parts of the brain can cause several kinds of changes in normal speech patterns. They range from mild difficulties to serious problems, making it hard to speak and understand. In medicine, language impairment is called articulation disorder

One mode generally associated with MS is so-called scanning voice. Scan for articulation impairment generates speech with normal "melody" or speech pattern corrupted, abnormally long pauses between words, or monosyllabic of words.

People of MS may also talk. This is usually the result of muscle weakness and / or mismatch of the tongue, lips, cheeks and mouth.

Problems in other languages ​​include nose pronunciation. It sounds like a cold or stuffy nose.

Dysarthria are often associated with other symptoms caused by brain stem injury. These include tremor, shaking of the neck, or unadjusted

Many people can get help from a language / language pathologist who can evaluate and improve language patterns, pronunciation, and oral communication.

If the MS patient can not speak, many auxiliary devices can be used. These include handheld communicators from letter cards to printed tapes, and computers that respond to blinks.

Many people with dysarthria also suffer from dysphagia (dysphagia). Speech therapists receive training to evaluate, diagnose, and mitigate these problems

The American Language - Language - Hearing Association offers online search tools for finding authorized language pathologists (SLP) and audiologists.

Dysarthria is a motor disorder disorder that weaknesses can not control the speech source. Vocal muscles can not move quickly or strongly as usual, so it is difficult to make a voice. People with articulation disorders may also have ness voices, gentle voices, tense voices, or obscure or slow spoken words. CAS is sometimes called developmental asthma. However, children with CAS do not necessarily develop CAS during development. In many children with speech impairment and developmental disorders, children follow normal patterns in language and sound development, but their development is slower than usual.

Developmental language disorder (also known as a child's language aphasia) is a developmental movement disorder including speech disorders in motor control. Since speech of children with developmental disorder language impairment may be difficult to understand, they can not meet everyday communication needs. Since children with developmental disorder speech disorders often suffer from great frustration, AAC can be a strategy to support communication combined with more traditional speech therapies to improve speech production.

Pediatric AOS exists from birth. This condition is also known as linguistic aphasia, developmental aphasia or voiceless aphasia. A child as a child is different from the learning of utterance in which children follow the typical path of development of utterance, but this practice is slower than typical seizures. The cause of child's AOS is unknown. Diagnostic imaging and other studies have not been able to find evidence of brain damage or brain structure differences in children with AOS. Children of AOS usually have families with a history of communication and learning disabilities. This finding and recent findings suggest that genetic factors may play a role in this disease. Pediatric AOS seems to affect boys better than girls
