Connect with Balbus Speech as they take social media to another level by providing an online network that allows individuals with speech disorders, and therapists alike to connect via the Internet. Social media and mobile technology join to create a community of stutterers, speech therapists, family members and friends. When you have a vision it is easy for dreams to become reality- “Through my own experiences with speech therapy, I understand the difficulties faced by a whole community of people like me. I always wanted a way to expand the effect of my therapy. I thought: If I attend speech therapy for just an hour each week, what happens when the session ends and I head back into the real world? I struggled to maintain my comfortable level of fluency once therapy sessions ended. I wanted a way to connect, be supported, and find inspiration. That’s where the idea for Balbus Speech originated.” Jack McDermott Founder & CEOJoin the community-Follow Balbus Speech on Twitter @BalbusSpeech,

This is the site for scoring procedures:

This is a scale that is typically used for adolescents and adults who stutter, it provides a general indication of a person's interpersonal, social and emotional sensitivity. There are 25 questions that ask for a response either true or fals. The client circles the answer that corresponds to the response that fits them best. A total score is derived from the questions answered from the questionnaire.
