The main questions it aims to answer are: * What changes in voice and breathing are observed in adults with dysarthria after ABI? * Can combining acoustic, respiratory, and clinical assessments help identify dysarthria severity and subtype? Participants will: * Have their speech recorded to measure voice and articulation features, such as pitch, clarity, and the ability to sustain sounds. * Perform breathing tests using a spirometer to assess lung function. * Complete the Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment-2 (FDA-2), adapted to Spanish, to classify dysarthria type and severity. About 97 to 101 participants will take part. The results will help speech therapists better detec
