Critical Review: Can online assessments be used to obtain an accurate measure of speech intelligibility in individuals with dysarthria?

چکیده
This critical review examines the current evidence regarding the accuracy of assessing intelligibility of dysarthric speech over the internet. Access barriers to obtaining speech and language services such as remote location and physical disability may be reduced with an online service delivery model. Overall, current research suggests that assessment results achieved face-to-face are comparable to results achieved online, however, further examination of the influence of environmental controls, various dysarthric profiles, and clinician and client technical skills are required.
