Background: understanding the experience of people who stutter, both in and out treatment, will lead to improved outcomes. Aim: to investigate how stuttering affects the quality of life of children and adolescents who stutter. Method: the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering -School-Age (OASES-S) was used to assess the impact of stuttering and the Fluency Profile Protocol was used to stuttering severity. Results: these age groups do experience moderate negative impact as measured by the OASES-S. The results showed a tendency toward a positive correlation between severity and the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusion: a better understanding of the impact of stuttering in these age groups provides a needed guide for the development of stuttering treatments and treatment outcomes research. Key Words: Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences; Quality of Life; Stuttering. ResumoTema: compreender a experiência das pessoas que gaguejam, dentro e fora do contexto de tratamento, conduz a melhores resultados. Objetivo: investigar como a gagueira afeta a qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes que gaguejam. Método: o Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of StutteringSchool-Age (OASES-S) foi utilizado para avaliar o impacto da gagueira e o Protocolo do Perfil da Fluência para severidade da gagueira. Resultados: os grupos estudados experienciam impacto negativo moderado conforme medido pelo OASES-S. Os resultados evidenciam tendência à correlação positiva entre grau de severidade e impacto da gagueira na qualidade de vida. Conclusão: uma melhor compreensão do impacto da gagueira nas faixas etárias estudadas propicia direção necessária para desenvolvimento de tratamentos da gagueira e pesquisa dos resultados do tratamento.
