Dysarthria group

We have two dysarthria groups; one on Friday and one on Wednesday mornings. The groups are led by Dr Catherine Tattersall and Dr Caroline Haw.

The groups provide individual sessions for clients for the first hour and then a group activity for the second hour. The individual sessions are provided by students under supervision from qualified therapists. It allows students to develop their skills whilst also providing specialised input for clients with motor speech difficulties due to stroke, Parkinson's disease or other causes.

Clients are usually referred to the group by their NHS speech therapist. For some individuals attending the group we work with the NHS therapist to complement their input.

The majority of clients in this group are no longer receiving speech therapy through the NHS but would still like to practice their speech and communication skills and socialise with others in a supportive environment.
