ABSTRACT

Introduction. Dysarthria, a neurological motor deficiency in speech, is a common sequel to non-progressive brain damage, forming part of the dysarthric picture and a series of changes can be found, including changes in the rate of emission. Methods. A retrospective study of the data was performed. collected in 29 speech therapy files and clinical histories of dysarthric adults, treated at the Speech Therapy service of the International Center for Neurological Restoration. They were evaluated before and after applying a system of activities during two treatment cycles. Descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon equal and indicated pair test were applied. The percent improvement of the obtained values was determined. Results. The highest incidence of changes in emission velocity was in patients with head trauma. Bradylalic language predominated in the entire sample and tachycalic in cerebrovascular diseases. After speech therapy treatment there was a 19% improvement, the differences were very statistically significant. Conclusions. The applied system of activities helped to compensate for the alterations in the speed of emission of these people with special educational needs, which favorably influenced their oral expression, providing them with better quality in oral communication.
