Work settings played a role, as all SLPs working in Veterans Affairs hospitals and 97% of SLPs working in university or research clinics reported access to at least one formal assessment. Even with access to formal tools to measure intelligibility, most SLPs preferred less formal measures. It is surprising to note that many SLPs reported using physical examinations (e.g., of cranial nerves and oral mechanisms) to measure speech intelligibility.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Results indicate the need to increase SLP familiarity with, and access to, currently available standardized assessments, as well as to improve education regarding the fundamental need to rate speech to assess intelligibility. Clinicians may also benefit from new standardized methods to objectively assess intelligibility that are accessible, practical, and efficient.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1044\/2017_ajslp-16-0112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,3]],"date-time":"2017-08-03T19:30:53Z","timestamp":1501788653000},"page":"873-892","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Speech-Language Pathologists' Use of Intelligibility Measures in Adults With Dysarthria"],"prefix":"10.1044","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Naomi","family":"Gurevich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Illinois University, Charleston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sydney L.","family":"Scamihorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Illinois University, Charleston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1310","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_1","unstructured":"American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
