Intelligibility can be broadly defined as the understandability of speech. Implicit in the definition is a task in which a speaker produces a message and a listener who does not know the content of message attempts to com prehend and/or reproduce it. Although the model for intelligibility tasks is a simple one, these tasks have considerable potential for the development of both assessment and intervention approaches for dysarthric speakers. Intelligibility is a particularly straightforward indicator of the adequacy of dysarthric speech because the distortion in the signal arises from a move ment problem rather than from word retrieval or other language-related problems. Measures of intelligibility have long played a role in the descrip tion and evaluation of dysarthric speakers. Estimates (Darley, Aronson, and Brown, 1975; and Enderby, 1983) and actual measures of intelligibility of connected speech (Yorkston and Beukelman, 1978, 1981) have served as overall indicators of speech adequacy. The clinical use of intelligibility tasks has also found support in the research literature. As a measure of severity, intelligibility has been related to information transfer (Beukelman and Yorkston, 1979), articulatory function (Platt, Andrews, and Howie, 1980;
