What typically characterizes a speech disorder associated with dyskinetic CP?

Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by involuntary movements that can significantly affect an individual's ability to produce speech. This type of CP includes abnormal muscle tone and atypical movements, which can lead to challenges in coordinating the muscles necessary for articulated speech. As a result, individuals with dyskinetic CP often struggle with phonation, articulation, and the overall production of speech due to these involuntary movements. This can manifest as irregular speech patterns, poor clarity, and difficulties with both the rhythm and rate of speech.

In contrast, the other options suggest characteristics that are not typical of dyskinetic CP. Consistent speech patterns and predictable speech errors imply a level of control and stability in speech production that individuals with dyskinetic CP generally do not have. Clear articulation of language also does not align with the involuntary movement aspect of this condition, as clarity of speech would require control that is compromised in dyskinetic CP.
