The Test of Childhood Stuttering (TOCS) provides a sound method for assessing speech fluency skills and stuttering-related behaviours. This individually administered tool can help you identify children who stutter, determine the severity of a child's stuttering, and document changes in a child's fluency functioning over time. The TOCS is comprised of three major components:
- Standardized Speech Fluency Measure—Uses four tasks to help you identify children who stutter and rate the severity of their stuttering: Rapid Picture Naming, Modeled Sentences, Structured Conversation, and Narration.
- Observational Rating Scales—Includes Speech Fluency Rating Scale and Disfluency-Related Consequences Rating Scale, which allow you to gather information about stuttering and related behaviours from parents, teachers, and others who have known the child for an extended period of time.
- Supplemental Clinical Assessment—Provides eight supplementary fluency-related assessments to help you probe disfluency-related data in greater detail.
