Abstract	Purpose: This study reports the development, refinement, and exploration of the psychometric properties of the Vanderbilt Responses to Your Child's Speech (VRYCS) rating scale, a novel measure designed to assess parents' self-perceived responses to the speech of their children who stutter (CWS). Method: Parents of 214 young (ages 2;4[years;months]-5;11) CWS completed the original 40-item version of the VRYCS. Content analyses and an exploratory factor analysis determined the scale's factors and identified specific items corresponding to each. Items that did not load onto the factors were removed and internal consistency was assessed. Results: The final 18-item VRYCS rating scale includes five factors relating to parents' responses to the speech of their CWS including (a) Requesting Change, (b) Speaking for the Child, (c) Supporting Communication, (d) Slowing and Simplifying, and (e) Responding Emotionally. Reliability was demonstrated, responses by parents of CWS were described, and a revised scoring form developed. Conclusions: The VRYCS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing and exploring parents' perceptions of their own responses to the speech of their CWS for clinical and research purposes. Clinical applications of the VRYCS for assessment and treatment of childhood stuttering are discussed. (As Provided).
