SSI-4 is a norm-referenced stuttering assessment that can be used for both clinical and research purposes. It measures stuttering severity in both children and adults in the four areas of speech behavior: (1) frequency, (2) duration, (3) physical concomitants, and (4) naturalness of the individual’s speech. Frequency is expressed in percent syllables stuttered and converted to scale scores of 2-18. Duration is timed to the nearest one tenth of a second and converted to scale scores of 2-18. The four types of Physical Concomitants are rated on a 0-5 scale of degree of distractability and then expressed as a score of 0-20. The resulting score can be 0-56. The SSI-4 can also be used in conjunction with the Stuttering Prediction Instruments for Young Children (SPI). Kit contains the Examiner's Manual which includes the Clinical Use of Self-Report as well as Stimulus Materials (Picture Plates & Reading Plates), Examiner Record Forms, and a CD containing the Computerized Scoring of Stuttering Severity (Version 2; CSSS-2.0)software. Circulation restricted to Keystone AEA Special Education SLP's. | |
