Last Updated: 2010-11-25

Results Overview

SSQ is a teacher-report measure assessing the frequency of the child's speaking behaviour at school. It is a 9-item questionnaire. Each item has four possible responses, ranging 0 (never), 1 (seldom), 2 (often) and 3 (always). The standard sum score is added up from the six questions (as defined by its author Lindsey Bergman) and then divided by 6 to make up a corresponding factor score ranging from 0-3.(worst value=0 and best value=3)

Each child receives one score at end of treatment according to their acquired level (worst value=1, best value =6)
