- Make conclusion about severity
- Examine speech behaviors (physical characteristics)
- Covert characteristics (emotional reactions)
- Situational/environmental aspects
- What, if anything, has been done in the past for this problem?
What are the components of an analysis of concomitant behaviors (5)?

- Physical concomitants (0-5)
What is recommended as far as samples go for the SSI-4?
Recommend using two 200-syllable samples:
- Reading
- Conversation

Total score is derived from the sum of the 3 components (frequency, duration, physical)
What is the SSI-4 total score compared to?
Score is compared to percentiles and severity ratings (EX: mild, moderate, severe)
When is the SSI-4 used (at what point for a PWS)?
