  1. Disability Tax Credit for Speech Impairment

  2. How you are eligible for Disability Tax Credit for Speech Impairment Patients are considered markedly restricted in speaking if at least 90% of the time you are unable to speak or it takes you an inordinate amount of time to speak.

  3. How it affects the Person’s Daily Life Speech impairments affect a person’s vocal communication in a variety of ways. They can experience problems including slurred, slowed, hoarse, stuttered, or rapid speech. Symptoms can include stiffness of the facial muscles, drooling, and sudden contraction of the vocal muscles. As a result, these problems can affect a person’s ability to communicate with others.

  4. Speech disorders involve disorders of the voice, including pitch, loudness, or quality. For example, a common speech disorder is stuttering. Stuttering is when a person uses repetition and struggles to get their words out. As a result, communication becomes a challenge as these patients cannot articulate their thoughts, or take an inordinate amount of time to do so.

  5. Other types of common speech impairments include spasmodic dysphonia, aphasia, dysarthria, and vocal disturbances. Spasmodic Dysphonia is abnormal brain functioning, originating in the basil ganglia. The basic ganglia is the part of the brain that controls the body’s muscle movement. Aphasia is brain damage, commonly caused by a stroke or blood clot. Dysarthria is a muscle and motor condition, which can be caused by Parkinson’s disease, stroke, head trauma, brain tumour, or alcohol consumption.
