The control group received routine speech training for 30 minutes a day, while the the treatment group spent ten minutes out of 30 minutes for auditory discrimination training, for four weeks. They were tested the articulation and speech intelligibility before and after treatment.Results Both the percentage of consonants correct and speech intelligibility increased in the treatment group after treatment (t > 7.919, P < 0.001), but only the percentage of consonants correct increased in the control group ( t = 7.047, P < 0.001). Conclusion Auditory discrimination training can promote the outcome of children with dysarthria, which can be as a routine part of training for them.
