CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire assess?
It screens for features consistent with cluttering, including rapid rate, reduced clarity, and irregular speech organization. Results support differential identification from other fluency or rate-related conditions.
Who should complete the questionnaire?
It is completed by a speech-language professional based on direct observation and sample speech. Self-report is not intended.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Administration takes about 7 minutes and includes 33 items. Timing may vary with the length of the speech sample reviewed.
What information is needed before scoring?
A representative speech sample is required, using structured tasks or spontaneous speech as available. Notes on rate, intelligibility, and fluency patterns are used to select item responses.
How should results be used in clinical decision-making?
Results are used to guide differential diagnosis and to target speech features for further evaluation. They do not replace a comprehensive speech-language assessment.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Methodology for Identifying Individuals with Cluttering Test

Cluttering Screening Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is used to support differential screening when rapid and/or unclear speech is observed, with attention to features consistent with cluttering. The Cluttering Screening Questionnaire provides a structured way to document clinician observations and guide follow-up assessment; it is commonly used as an initial step rather than a stand-alone diagnostic tool.

Developed by David Ward, it includes 33 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. The Cluttering Screening Questionnaire helps organize information relevant to distinguishing cluttering from other fluency or speech-rate concerns and can be integrated into a broader speech-language evaluation.
