How are motor speech disorders identified: clinicians use a variety of measurement methods to evaluate motor speech disorders, e(cid:454)a(cid:373)i(cid:374)e ho(cid:449) the disorder affe(cid:272)ts the i(cid:374)di(cid:448)idual"s a(cid:272)ti(cid:448)ities a(cid:374)d parti(cid:272)ipatio(cid:374, measurement methods. Perceptual, acoustic, and physiological measures to document motor speech disorders. Perceptual measures are the tools most commonly used to diagnose motor speech disorders, and these typically involve perceptual judgments of the intelligibility, accuracy, and speed of an individual during a variety of speech and non speech motor tasks. Help the professional characterize the impact of the disorder on various aspects of speech and are crucial for differentiaiting motor speech disorders. Acoustic measures involve a visual representation of the speech sound wave and allow more detailed examination of speech abnormalities that (cid:373)a(cid:455) (cid:374)ot (cid:271)e per(cid:272)epti(cid:271)le to the professio(cid:374)al"s e(cid:455)e a(cid:374)d ear.
