THE S/Z RATIO # 5
Instructions: Say to the client, “Takea breathandmake the longest /s/ youcan, like this, /s---s/” (model the target response).Time thedurationof the client’s
productionis in seconds. Repeat the instructions, replacing /s/ with /z/. Complete at least 2 trials of each phoneme, recording seconds per trial below:
To determine the s/z ratio, divide the longest /s/ production by the
longest /z/ production
Interpretation:
 A 1.0 ratio with normal duration on productions of /s/ and /z/ (approximately 10 seconds for children and 20–25 seconds for adults) suggests
normal respiratory ability and the absence of vocal cord pathology.
 A 1.0 ratio with reduced duration of /s/ and /z/ indicates possible respiratory inefficiency. The patient may have a reduced vital capacity or
poor control of expiration.

S/Z Ratio

6. 6
 An s/z ratio of 1.2 or greater with normal duration of the /s/ production indicates possible vocal cord pathology. Unlike /s/, the voiced /z/
requires phonation. Therefore, unequal phonatory control of the /s/ and /z/ is indicative of a laryngeal pathology rather than a respiratory
problem. The higher the s/z ratio is above 1.0, the greater the likelihood of laryngeal pathology.

Diadochokinetic Syllable Rates Worksheet # 10
Instructions: Time the number of seconds it takes your client to complete each task the prescribed number of times. The average number
of seconds for children 6 to 13 years of age is reported in the right-hand side of the table. The standard deviation (SD) from the norm (mean
or average) is also found in the table. Subtract the SD from the norm to determine each SD interval. For example, using the /puh/ norm with
a 6-year-old, 3.8 (4.8 - 1.0) is one SD, 2.8 (4.8 - 2.5) is two-and-a-half SDs, etc. Therefore, a 6-year-old child who needed the 2.6 seconds
to complete the /puh/ sequence would be two SDs below the mean.

MEAN LENGTH of UTTERANCE (MLU) # 12
Mean length of utterance (MLU) is the average number of morphemes per utterance. It is an index of expressive language development
used beyond the stage of single words, when a child uses two or more words together in an utterance. It is calculated in 50 or 100
utterances by counting the number of morphemes in each utterance divided by the total number of utterances. MLU is used as a benchmark
to assess individual differences and developmental changes in grammatical development in children in the early stages of language
acquisition. The mean length of children’s utterances is a valuable estimate of their early language acquisition. A child’s MLU typically
corresponds closely to their age. Roger Brown described five stages of language development based on MLU.

ASSESS OVERALL SPEAKING RATE or WPM # 13
NOTE; Speech rate is the term given to the speed at which you speak. It's calculated in the number of words spoken in a minute. A normal
number of words per minute (wpm) can vary hugely. The average speaking rate for people who don't stutter is 167 words per minute, 1st
grade child’s WPM is about 125 and 5th
grade child has 142 WPM (Darley, 1940). Generally people are not conscious of their habitual
speaking speed and if they are understood by those listening there is little reason to change. Their speech could be considered too slow or
too fast by people outside of their normal environment but if they are not routinely communicating with them it doesn't really matter.
