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.
