Impact Stuttering Rating Scale
The IMPACT Stuttering Rating Scale (ages 5-21) evaluates the impact of a child’s fluency of speech on their social interactions, academic life, and home/after school life. The current rating scale asks parents, teachers, and clinicians to rate the various components of fluency of speech on a 4-point scale (“not typically,” “sometimes,” “often,” and “typically”) and yields a percentile and standard score. By utilizing this rating scale, we are able to develop a better understanding of how a student’s fluency difficulties/differences may impact language and social development, as well as academic performance, and peer relationships. Please refer to the Test Manual for further details about this test.
Instructions for the clinicians: Although each rating scale (clinician, parent, teacher) is a stand-alone test, we highly recommend to complete all three tests in order to obtain more comprehensive results. After completion of each rating scale form, the system generates a protocol in pdf format that includes standard scores, percentile ranks, and educational impact analysis.
