Письмо characters with disabilities?

I have a character with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy, so a big part that will stand out is her speech. I don't know how I should write that; should I write the dialogue the way it sounds when she speaks? (I'm afraid this would be hard for readers to figure out what she's saying, and I'm afraid it'd be offensive for some?) The disability is a big part of the story, so I need to emphasize it, but I don't know exactly how to do that? Any help/advice would be helpful. Also, if Ты ever wrote a character with any kind of disability, I'd Любовь to hear about it. Thanks for the help.

Wait what kind of speech impediment is it? Like a stutter или lisp?

It's еще of an articulation impediment, with exaggerated mouth movements. People with ataxic cp have a hard time pronouncing words; and I hate describing it like this but I guess it's similar to way a three год old would try to speak? It just sounds off and can be hard to understand sometimes.

maybe add stresses to certain syllables??? oi see how it'd be difficult to write exaggerated mouth movements.

Try to really think about a time when maybe Ты met или talked to someone w/ the disease. If Ты haven't, try to research speech patterns of people with the disorder. If Ты find that it is just hard to make that really come across to a reader, than find a clever way to address или bring up the fact that thus character suffers from it. Also, I think that using the correct Описание words would help also. The physical Описание of this person as well as how they Переместить can be very effective in conveying a speech impediment или disorder.
