TEACHING PUPILS WITH DYSARTHIA

• Try to have the classroom as quiet as possible.

• Make sure you are facing the child directly when speaking to him/her or the class including him/her.

• Try to encourage the child to speak in short phrases.

• Give him/her enough time to say what he/she wants to.

• If you need him/her to repeat words, make it easy by just asking for the one word you didn't hear/understand?  e.g. You want to go where?

  Encourage him/her to use gestures etc. to help him/her explain what he/she is trying to say.

• Encourage him/her to take his/her time when speaking.

• Don't keep at him/her to make all his/her words clear.  As long as he/she communicates the basic message give praise..
