Stuttering Severity Instrument - Fourth Edition (SSI4)
The Stuttering Severity Instrument-Fourth Edition (SSI-4) is a norm-referenced assessment used to quantify stuttering severity in children and adults, measuring frequency, duration, physical concomitants, and the naturalness of speech. The total score measures the overall severity of the individual's stuttering disorder. The examiner adds scores from the frequency, duration, and physical concomitants sections to obtain the severity score and percentile rank. These are calculated using the tables within the record form. These tables also convert scores to a severity equivalent, which ranges from "very mild" to "very severe". It has a total score range of 0 to 20 for physical concomitants, and 2 to 18 for frequency and duration. The total score for the entire instrument is the sum of these three scores, making the overall range up to 20 + 18 + 18 = 56.
