Quick and easy to use, the OASES now offers record forms for children as young as 7. This evidence-based tool is built on a solid theoretical foundation, offering you a highly reliable, comprehensive assessment.

Assess the impact of stuttering—with one brief tool.

When stuttering frequency isn’t changing, look deeper

As the first published measure designed to examine functional communication difficulties and quality of life for those who stutter, the OASES helps you better understand the complexity of stuttering. This criterion-referenced self-report helps:

• Evaluate the speaker’s perceptions about stuttering behaviors, the speaker’s reactions to stuttering, and difficulties he or she may have in performing daily activities that involve communication

• Promote self-awareness for a person who stutters of how the condition affects multiple areas of his or her life, including school, work, home, and social settings

• Develop a communication platform between you and your client so that you share an awareness of where to focus intervention

• Show potential change when an assessment of stuttering frequency does not

Meet diverse client needs with a multipurpose tool

OASES is designed to meet a range of client needs, including to help you:

• Design one-on-one, individualized intervention

• Easily compare each client’s progress over time

• Measure performance outcome against a set of expectations for an individual event or context

How it works

Each question on the OASES is scored on a Likert scale from 1–5. Responses are totaled into Impact Scores and Impact Ratings (Mild through Severe) for each of the four sections:

• General Information• Your Reactions to Stuttering• Communication in Daily Situations• Quality of Life

There also is an overall score.
