You have indicated that you are an adult who stutters (ages 18 and above), and you are interested in our research study on the Assessment of Multiple Perspectives on Stuttered Speech™ (AMPSS) Protocol. Thank you for helping us develop this new assessment.
The AMPSS study protocol for adult who stutter consists of two parts:
- a speaker response form, to be completed by you
- a conversational partner response form for others, to be completed by significant others, such as family members and speech-language pathologists
Please follow these two steps to participate in the study:
Step 1: Complete Your Conversational Partner Response Form
First, please complete the speaker response form. This form asks about your perspectives on your stuttering. As part of completing this form, you will create a unique speaker confidentiality code that allows us to keep track of data without identifying participants by name. Please remember the code, because you will need it for Step 2. Completing the form takes approximately 20 minutes in total.

Step 2: Invite Others to Complete Their Conversational Partner Response Forms
Second, please invite your speech-language pathologist (SLP) and any other conversational partners you would like to include (e.g., co-workers, significant others) to complete their conversational partner response forms. The information that we gain from these conversational partners provides important perspectives about your child's speech and communication, so please do not skip this step. The conversational partners will access the form through the main study website, shown below. Be sure to give them the unique speaker confidentiality code that you created in Step 1, so that we can link their form to your data while maintaining confidentiality. No one other than the authors of the AMPSS protocol (J. Scott Yaruss & Nina Reeves) will have access to any of the data collected in this study.
