csds 115 exam 4 Unit 5 the various dysfluency measurement calculations and other behaviors to consider

Perform the various dysfluency measurement calculations

TOTAL DYSFLUENCY INDEX (TDI), PERCENT DYSFLUENCY FOR EACH TYPE, DYSFLUENCY TYPE BASED ON THE TOTAL PERCENT OF DYSFLUENCY

TOTAL DYSFLUENCY INDEX (TDI)

Calculate the Total Dysfluency Index (AKS: Percent Dysfluency Rate or Percent Words Stuttered)

TDI Answers the question

"What percent of the client's speech is dysfluent?"

TDI formula

((Total number of dysfluencies in the sample)/(Total number of words in the sample)) X 100 = % dysfluency rate

Total dysfluency index of 5% or greater is

clinically significant

PERCENT DYSFLUENCY FOR EACH TYPE

Calculate the percent dysfluency for each type based on the total sample

Percent Dysfluency For Each Type Answers the question

"What percent of the client's speech was (dysfluency type)?"

Percent Dysfluency For Each Type formula

((The total number of dysfluency type)/(Total number of words in the sample)) X 100 = % dysfluency for each type

3% or higher for part-word repetitions, sound-syllable prolongations, and blocks/broken words is

clinically significant

DYSFLUENCY TYPE BASED ON THE TOTAL PERCENT OF DYSFLUENCY

means to Calculate based on the total percent of dysfluency

Dysfluency type based on the total percent of dysfluency answers the question

"What percent of the client's dysfluent speech was (dysfluency type)?"

Dysfluency type based on the total percent of dysfluency formula

((The total number of dysfluency type)/Total number of dysfluent words in the sample)) X 100 = % of dysfluency type based on the total percent dysfluency

Dysfluency type based is criteria based

Not criteria based, optional calculation

OTHER BEHAVIORS TO CONSIDER

Secondary Behaviors/Associated Motor Behaviors, Other Significant Factors

Secondary Behaviors/Associated Motor Behaviors are

Escape Behaviors and Avoidance Behaviors/Various non-speech motor behaviors that accompany stuttering

Other significant Factors

Mismanagement of Airflow/Negative Emotions

OTHER ASSESSMENT MEASURES OF BEHAVIOR

Stuttering Severity Instrument (SSI)/ Test of Childhood Stuttering (TOCS)/ Speech and;or language assessments, if appropriate
