Functional speech disorders (FSDs; previously known as psychogenic speech disorders) encompass a wide variety of speech abnormalities with an unclear etiology. FSDs are not unusual in clinical practice, but are often misdiagnosed. These disorders manifest in the form of adult-onset impairments of articulation, fluency, resonance, and prosody, as well as pseudoforeign accent, infantile speech, and mutism. Interrelated psychiatric, psychological, and neurobiological mechanisms often play an important role in FSDs. Distinguishing FSDs from other disorders is critical in developing an appropriate speech therapy plan. Several audio clip case studies demonstrate how to conduct examinations and make a differential diagnosis. This course will also cover the effective management of FSDs through assertive treatment and speech pattern modification.
