In reply to the type of stuttering, when evaluating the severity of your stuttering, it's important to include your experiences, attitudes, and the impact of stuttering on your daily life. Evaluating the severity of stuttering can be done in multiple ways, such as: * measuring disfluency frequency and duration. For example, by dividing the number of instances of stuttering by the number of syllables in the sample and multiply by 100 to obtain the percentage of stuttered syllables. Subtract this number from 100 to obtain the percentage of fluent speech * Stuttering Severity Instruments, such as rating scales that measure various dimensions of stuttering. For example, Stuttering Severity Instrument (SSI), the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES), or the Stuttering Severity Instrument for Children and Adults (SSI-CA) * SLPs may use their clinical judgment to assess the severity of stuttering * the impact that stuttering has on your communication, such as assessing functional limitations, emotional and social impact, and your perception of your own communication abilities * checklists to diagnose stuttering you can find [here](https://www.google.com/search?q=OASES+5-point+scale+stuttering+severity) (and then click on Google images).
