Management of non-progressive dysarthria: practice patterns of speech and language therapists in the Republic of Ireland.
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The use of specific treatment programmes varies amongst SLTs. A lack of resources is reported to restrict practice in both assessment and management.
