Instructions: Use the information obtained from the interviews, analysis of speech samples, and other evaluation tools to complete The Fluency Profile. Place a 1, 2, or 3 before statements that reflect the client's communication pattern. A ranking of "1" indicates the pattern is exhibited occasionally, "2" indicates it is exhibited frequently, and "3" it is exhibited almost always. Leave the statement blank if the client seldom or never exhibits the pattern. Transfer the appropriate values obtained during analysis of speech samples in the appropriate spaces under SEGMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS.

 SEGMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DISFLUENCY
_____ Percent words disfluent/stuttered during representative conversational speech
_____ Percent words disfluent/stuttered during representative oral reading sample
_____ Speaking rate during perceptually fluent conversational speech
_____ Duration range of disfluent/stuttering episodes
_____ Duration of most typical disfluent/stuttering episodes

OVERT AVOIDANCE, POSTPONEMENT, AND ESCAPE SPEECH BEHAVIORS
Fluent Utterances
_____ Speaks at atypically high or low lung volumes (high - low)
_____ Uses abrupt inhalation and/or exhalation movements prior to or during speech
_____ Holds breath before speaking
_____ Closes off the vocal folds before speaking
_____ Uses abrupt onset and/or offset of speech movements
_____ Uses atypically slow speech movements
_____ Uses excessive force during speech movements
_____ Fragments utterances into shorter than normal units
_____ Pauses at atypical grammatical boundaries
_____ Pauses are atypically long between words, phrases, or sentences
_____ Does not use normal pauses (run-on speech)

Disfluent Utterances
_____ Attempts to rapidly stop or hide stuttering episodes
_____ Recoils from onset of stuttering episodes
_____ Holds breath immediately before stuttering
_____ Speaks at unnecessarily high or low lung volumes

COVERT AVOIDANCE AND POSTPONEMENT BEHAVIORS
_____ Attempts to hide disfluent/stuttering episodes
_____ Avoids using certain sounds or words

_____ Exhibits excessive force/pushing in non-speech structures prior to or during stuttering
_____ Exhibits "timing" behaviors (e.g. finger tapping) during fluent or disfluent speech
_____ Exhibits extraneous non-speech body movements during fluent or disfluent utterances

ANTICIPATION OF DISFLUENT/STUTTERING EPISODES
_____ Thinks about or anticipates future disfluent/stuttering moments
_____ Accurately predicts stuttering episodes (>70% )
_____ Scans ahead before or during talking to identify possible stuttering episodes
_____ Thinks about or visualizes them self stuttering

EMOTIONAL AROUSAL ASSOCIATED WITH TALKING AND DISFLUENCY
_____ Experiences high emotional arousal before talking to certain individuals
_____ Experiences high emotional arousal before talking to groups
_____ Experiences high emotional arousal while talking to certain individuals or groups
_____ Experiences high emotional arousal when anticipating disfluent episodes
_____ Experiences increased emotional arousal during disfluent episodes
