“…Significant increases of intelligibility were observed for three different speech tasks, at a phoneme level (NSVO), in automatic sequences and even at the sentence level (NSVO-Z). These outcomes are in line with the results of Hartman et al (1979) and Marchant et al (2008), showing that there is an improvement in the trained tasks. However, the former two studies are only a case report of longer treatment programmes.…”

“…A study that compared the effect of the LSVT and a traditional direct intervention in non-progressive dysarthria patients revealed a short-and long-term significant increase in vowel space area and intelligibility following both treatments (Wenke et al 2010). A single-case study by Hartman et al (1979) investigated whether a patient with dysarthria as a result of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) would benefit from following a segmental articulation therapy. The results showed an improvement in the trained tasks and, in addition, the patient was able to generalize the correct articulation to untrained words.…”

Background: The articulatory accuracy of patients with dysarthria is one of the most affected speech dimensions with a high impact on speech intelligibility. Behavioural treatments of articulation can either involve direct or indirect approaches. The latter have been thoroughly investigated and are generally appreciated for their almost immediate effects on articulation and intelligibility. The number of studies on (short-term) direct articulation therapy is limited. Aims: To investigate the effects of short-term, boost articulation therapy (BArT) on speech intelligibility in patients with chronic or progressive dysarthria and the effect of severity of dysarthria on the outcome. Methods & Procedures: The study consists of a two-group pre-/post-test design to assess speech intelligibility at phoneme and sentence level and during spontaneous speech, automatic speech and reading a phonetically balanced text. A total of 17 subjects with mild to severe dysarthria participated in the study and were randomly assigned to either a patient-tailored, intensive articulatory drill programme or an intensive minimal pair training. Both training programmes were based on the principles of motor learning. Each training programme consisted of five sessions of 45 min completed within one week. Outcomes & Results: Following treatment, a statistically significant increase of mean group intelligibility was shown at phoneme and sentence level, and in automatic sequences. This was supported by an acoustic analysis that revealed a reduction in formant centralization ratio. Within specific groups of severity, large and moderate positive effect sizes with Cohen's d were demonstrated. Conclusions & Implications: BArT successfully improves speech intelligibility in patients with chronic or progressive dysarthria at different levels of the impairment.

The dysarthrias form a group of diverse, chronic motor speech disorders. The disorders of Parkinson's disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and cerebral palsy are reviewed because they represent important clinical diagnoses in which dysarthria is a frequent and debilitating symptom. The roles played by speech-language pathologists include participation in differential diagnosis, provision of speech treatment, staging of treatment, and timely education so that clients and families can make informed decisions about communication alternatives. Both scientific and clinical evidence is presented that suggests that individuals with dysarthria benefit from the services of speech-language pathologists. Group-treatment studies, single-subject studies, and case reports illustrate the effectiveness of various types ofspeech treatment. Research into the effectiveness of augmentative and alternative communication systems for individuals with cerebral palsy is also presented.

Summary This paper describes the necessity for, and the development of an assessment for dysarthria. The short easy assessment described has been found to have acceptable inter‐rater reliability, even between Speech Therapists who have not been trained to use the test. The clinical value of the test has been proven with its use with more than a hundred patients. However, there are several areas that point to the necessity of further research.
