“…Subsequently, the SMAAT program has been used with samples from Icelandic preschool children who stutter to assist clinicians identify stuttering events by preschool children who stutter (Einarsdóttir & Ingham, 2008). The program's principles have also been used to evaluate parents' judgments of children who stutter (Einarsdóttir & Ingham, 2009).…”

Purpose Two stuttering measurement training programs currently used for training clinicians were evaluated for their efficacy in improving the accuracy of total stuttering event counting. Method Four groups, each with 12 randomly allocated participants, completed a pretest–posttest design training study. They were evaluated by their counts of stuttering events on eight 3-min audiovisual speech samples from adults and children who stutter. Stuttering judgment training involved use of either the Stuttering Measurement System (SMS), Stuttering Measurement Assessment and Training (SMAAT) programs, or no training. To test for the reliability of any training effect, SMS training was repeated with the 4th group. Results Both SMS-trained groups produced approximately 34% improvement, significantly better than no training or the SMAAT program. The SMAAT program produced a mixed result. Conclusions The SMS program was shown to produce a “medium” effect size improvement in the accuracy of stuttering event counts, and this improvement was almost perfectly replicated in a 2nd group. Half of the SMAAT judges produced a 36% improvement in accuracy, but the other half showed no improvement. Additional studies are needed to demonstrate the durability of the reported improvements, but these positive effects justify the importance of stuttering measurement training.

“…Such a strong focus on the way the child speaks can cause such behaviours as helping the child, finishing his statements for him, correcting, reminding him to speak slowly (Einarsdóttir, Ingham, 2009). Osman Abali et al (2005), who assessed attitudes towards children in the initial stages of stuttering, report that more than half of parents (54.5%) punish and reprimand their children when they speak disfluently.…”

Wprowadzenie. Reakcje na niepłynność mówienia dziecka występujące u matki i ojca są prawdopodobnie zróżnicowane. Ponadto pojawia się pytanie: Jakie czynniki je kształtują? Cel. Celem badania było porównanie reakcji matek i ojców na niepłynność mówienia dziecka, ocena inteligencji emocjonalnej rodziców jąkających się dzieci oraz ustalenie związku między inteligencją emocjonalną rodziców a ich reakcjami na niepłynność mówienia dziecka. Materiał i metoda. W badaniu wzięło udział trzydzieści matek i trzydziestu ojców jąkających się dzieci w wieku 3-6 lat (w tym dwudziestu dwóch chłopców i ośmiu dziewczynek). Wyniki. Reakcje matek i ojców na niepłynność mowy dziecka są podobne, natomiast nasilenie reakcji emocjonalnych wobec synów było istotnie statystycznie wyższe (p < 0,05) u matek niż u ojców. Zarówno ogólny poziom inteligencji emocjonalnej, jak i poziomy dla poszczególnych skal były istotnie statystycznie wyższe u matek. Stwierdzono pozytywny związek o średniej sile pomiędzy zdolnością do empatii a skalą poznawczą oraz pomiędzy zdolnością do kontrolowania własnych emocji a skalą behawioralną matek. U ojców zaobserwowano pozytywny związek o średniej sile między zdolnością do empatii a skalą emocjonalną. Wnioski. Poziom inteligencji emocjonalnej wydaje się być czynnikiem kształtującym reakcje rodziców na niepłynność mówienia u dzieci.

“…There is little research on agreement between parents on reports of stuttering, even though clinicians and researchers regularly rely on parent reports to gain information about stuttering frequency and severity (de Sonneville- Koedoot, Stolk, Rietveld, & Franken, 2015;Einarsdóttir & Ingham, 2009;O'Brian et al, 2013), how stuttering affects a child (Boey et al, 2009;Langevin et al, 2010;Millard & Davis, 2016), and whether and when it is appropriate to recommend therapy (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005). Ntourou, Fourlas, Marousos, and Paphiti (2017) and Wheeler, Fenton, and Millard (2011) investigated the differences between mothers' and fathers' reports of the impact of stuttering on young children through the Palin PRS (Millard & Davis, 2016).…”

Purpose: Prior studies have documented an adverse impact of stuttering on young children's lives. These studies have relied primarily on parent reports, though different caregivers may have unique experiences with children. To date, no study has examined teachers' perceptions of the impact in children below six years of age. Moreover, the agreement between mothers, fathers, and teachers in proxy ratings of impact has not been examined. Caregiver agreement is important to investigate because results from varying assessments of adverse impact can influence treatment recommendations. This study sought to gain an integrated insight into 1) teachers' perceptions and descriptions of the impact of stuttering on young children and 2) agreement in mothers', fathers', and teachers' perceptions of how stuttering affects young children. Method: The mothers, fathers, and teachers of 35 young children who stutter (aged 2.0-6.0 years) completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering -Caregivers (Parents and Kindergarten Teachers) (OASES-C; Guttormsen, Yaruss, & Naess, 2020). Teachers also responded to open-ended questions about their perceptions of the impact of stuttering on children's lives.Results: Overall, teachers perceived stuttering to affect children's lives to a mild-tomoderate degree. The teachers described communication difficulty and reactions and how these changed across settings in kindergarten. Agreement on the four OASES-C sections and on the total score were calculated for 29 mother-teacher pairs, 29 father-teacher pairs, and 33 mother-father pairs. Results indicate good agreement between mothers and fathers and fair agreement between parents and teachers. Across caregiver pairs, agreement was high (good or excellent) when reporting on observable impact, while agreement was low (fair or poor) on ratings of internal impact.RUNNING HEAD: Agreement in caregivers' ratings of stuttering impact 2 Conclusion: The finding that teachers also perceive stuttering to have an adverse effect on young children adds to the literature of impact, particularly because the teachers reported observing impact in situations that are unique to the kindergarten setting. In line with previous literature on proxy reporting, our results indicate good agreement between caregivers observing the children in the same arena (mothers and fathers) and fair agreement between caregivers observing the children in different arenas (parents and teachers). The results indicate that information from more than one caregiver can contribute to an integrated assessment of impact across arenas.

Accuracy of parent identification of stuttering occurrence

Abstract: Parents of children who stutter may be both accurate and reliable in identifying brief intervals of speech containing stuttering and non-stuttering in their own children.
