Analyzing the Speech Sample
- SSI-4: __ __ __– Fourth Edition is a reliable and valid norm-referenced stuttering assessment that can be used for both ____.

(1) ___,
(2) ____,
(3) ___ ___, and
(4) ____of the individual’s speech
- SSI-4: Stuttering Severity Instrument – Fourth Edition is a reliable and valid norm-referenced stuttering assessment that can be used for both clinical and search 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
Analyzing the Speech Sample
__ ___of the 3 longest stuttering behaviors
Mean Duration of the 3 longest stuttering behaviors
Analyzing the Speech Sample
- For instance, the client says
1. buh-buh-buh-aseball with tension. - This would be evaluated as a ___ (part-word) and ____ (tense pause).
1. The coding procedure consists of ____ the word(s) where the disfluency occurred, and then placing the letters from the __ __ above the word in a transcript. In this case, it is a cluster.
- For instance, the client says
1. buh-buh-buh-aseball with tension. - This would be evaluated as a sound syllable repetition (part-word) and block (tense pause).
1. The coding procedure consists of underlining the word(s) where the disfluency occurred, and then placing the letters from the disfluency categories above the word in a transcript. In this case, it is a cluster.
Analyzing the Speech Sample
- In this example the letters Rss and B would be placed above the word “baseball” in the transcription.
- CL [Rss(2) + B]
- This is a baseball. It is really easy to throw.
1. This means that two types of disfluencies (This would be evaluated as a sound syllable repetition (part-word) and block (tense pause) occurred on that one word. You would record this as a cluster.
