The second annual Dysarthria Awareness Day took place to spread the word on the condition and inform on how to help people with the motor speech disorder.
Experts, speech and language therapists, students, and people with the condition all came together at the event.
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder affecting thousands. You can be born with it, or it can be acquired later in life.
Professor Pam Enderby, a pioneering and distinguished speech and language therapist, visited the event.
Prof. Enderby helped develop the Frenchay, a test used to assess speech and language disorders like dysarthria. It is now the most widely used test for Dysarthria internationally.
The department of speech and language therapy in Sheffield runs a Dysarthria clinic, where patients attend sessions to work with others in developing their speech skills.
