What causes Dysarthria?

Dysarthria is a speech impediment caused by problems in one's nervous system. The condition usually comes about with an already existing disease such as:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Lou Gehrig's disease
  • Huntington's disease
  • Multiple sclerosis

Stroke, brain injuries, tumors, and certain medications can also cause Dysarthria.
