“…Research has shown that there is cultural variation in terms of the knowledge and beliefs regarding the cause and the treatment of stuttering (Robinson, 2012). This notion of cultural variability has led to a growing number of studies examining the cultural attitudes and knowledge towards the disorder among and compared to other communication disorders (Abdalla and St. Louis, 2012;Al-Khaledi et al, 2009;Hughes et al, 2013;St.…”

Objectives: The current study assessed the attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs of Arab speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the Middle East using the clinician's attitudes towards stuttering inventory (CATS). The aim was to determine whether the attitudes, knowledge, and perceptions of clinicians would potentially influence service provision, treatment efficacy, as well as the implementation of early intervention. Patients and methods: Sixty-three Arab SLPs were surveyed using the CATS inventory. The survey consists of 50 attitudinal statements, assessing a broad range of beliefs related to the etiology of stuttering, people who stutter (PWS), the effectiveness of stuttering treatment, early intervention, and about their attitudes towards parents of children who stutter. A component in the survey also looked specifically at issues of awareness and knowledge about early intervention for stuttering. Results: The study found the presence of outdated concepts in the attitudes and beliefs of some SLPs towards stuttering and PWS. Although respondents seemed confident in treating PWS, they felt they required guidance from a stuttering specialist. Overall, SLPs believed that the treatment of stuttering is a complex and difficult area. Conclusion: The results highlight the need for education and training programs in the area of stuttering in the Middle East to improve knowledge about the disorder and its treatment.

“…Research showed that PWS appear to express fear, shame, frustration or embarrassment regardless of culture (for review, Finn and Corders, 1997). On the other hand, the cultural factors across countries and ethnic groups may change perceptions, beliefs, values and norms for stuttering (for review, Robinson, 2012). For example, Madding (1995) found that Latinos indicated an overall relaxed and open feeling about stuttering.…”

Social attitudes and reactions towards people who stutter (PWS) are generally examined through scales. The purpose of this study is to compare the attitudes and behaviors of Turkish and non-Turkish individuals in their interactions with PWS in an experimental condition. The participants were two PWS and 16 adults as interaction partners, including eight Turkish and eight non-Turkish individuals. In the experiment, each interaction partner engaged in a conversation with PWS on spontaneous themes. Four raters scored the attitudes of the interactors by watching the recorded videos via a questionnaire consisting of 49 antonym adjectives. Two raters calculated the interactive behaviors of the interaction partners. Based on the qualities with an agreement rate over .7 according to the reliability findings, the groups were compared with independent samples t-test. In the behavioral sense, the Turkish group exhibited significantly more 'sentence completion' and 'asking consecutive questions' behaviors compared to the non-Turkish group. In terms of interaction attitudes, the Turkish group received significantly higher scores in responding in the first syllable, completing the statement, being serious and anxious. In comparison to the Turkish group, the non-Turkish group received significantly higher scores in using gestures/facial expressions and being empathetic, warm, positive, sincere, sympathetic, and open.

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists are influential in shaping identity development for individuals who stutter, particularly as it relates to communication. This study investigated the experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals who stutter to learn more about how multiple marginalized identities affect their psychosocial experiences. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven individuals who stutter with lesbian, gay, and bisexual identities. Participants ranged in age from 22 to 60 years. Data were analyzed for themes and categories by using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Results: Four primary themes were identified: (a) the importance of visibility and shared social identity connections for affirmation; (b) effects of oppressive social expectations on identity; (c) intersectionality of stuttering, gay, lesbian, and bisexual identities; and (d) effects of not being affirmed for identity. Discussion: Results are discussed in the context of identity affirmation and intersectionality. Through an understanding of identity formation and psychosocial experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals who stutter, speech-language pathologists can use identity-affirmative practices to support individuals who stutter and mitigate stigmatizing experiences. Implications focus on suggestions for the provision of identity-affirming speech-language pathology practices for students who stutter.
