The <i>Living with Dysarthria</i> group for post‐stroke dysarthria: the participant voice

Abstract

Participant feedback indicates that group therapy, with family member participation, is a valid form of management for chronic post-stroke dysarthria. Education, peer and professional support, and speech practice are confirmed as relevant programme components. Consistent majority opinions were communicated in different situations and via varied mediums. Some individuals expressed views relevant to their own needs, and these responses also inform future implementation of the Living with Dysarthria programme.
