The screening test for aphasia and dysarthria (STAD) is a brief test consisting of 29 questions that help speech and language pathologists (SLPs) evaluate the overall communicative ability, enabling them to identify the need for additional assessment. STAD is a widely adaptable test available for severe communicative disorders. It uses simple and multiple communicative domains, which are important components that are not measured by other communicative screeners.
