Addressing the needs of speakers with longstanding dysarthria: computerized and traditional therapy compared. Palmer, R., Enderby, P., & Hawley, M. International journal of language & communication disorders / Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists, 42 Suppl 1:61--79, March, 2007.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
In clinical practice, it is common for speech and language therapists to discontinue dysarthria treatment when a plateau in spontaneous recovery is reached. However, there is some evidence from single-case research studies that people with chronic dysarthria can improve their speech with intervention several years after the onset of the disorder. If this is so, it can be argued that speech treatment should still be an option available to them. Motor learning principles suggest that in order to be effective, treatment needs to involve frequent, consistent practice with feedback.
