Abstract

Progressive dysarthria is a neurodegenerative speech disorder characterized by gradual deterioration of speech motor control, leading to impaired articulation, voice, and prosody. This case report describes a 62-year-old male presenting with slowly worsening dysarthria over 18 months without clear etiology after extensive neurological workup. Multidisciplinary management involving tailored speech therapy, respiratory exercises, and augmentative communication strategies led to improved speech intelligibility and quality of life. This report highlights challenges in diagnosing rare progressive dysarthrias and emphasizes individualized, adaptive intervention approaches.
