Functional speech disorders (FSDs) are distinguishable from neurogenic motor speech disorders based on positive clinical features, rather than a diagnosis of exclusion.  However, their differential diagnosis and management can be challenging.  This session will provide an overview of the diagnosis and management of FSDs through a number of case examples.

Learner Outcomes:

The learner will be able to:

  1. Describe the positive signs of functional speech disorders (FSDs).
  2. List how FSDs are diagnosed.
  3. Explain the general management approach for FSDs.
