“…The crossing between the data from this study and literature (4,5,18,20,29) relevant to the theme shows that the risk factors for developmental persistent stuttering must be contextualized in a multidimensional analysis that integrates multiple domains.…”

Purpose: To characterize the factors gender, age, duration and typology of the disfluencies; physical and emotional stresses in children with high risk for stuttering and with familial recurrence of the disorder. Methods:Sixty-five children with high risk for developmental familial stuttering of both genders, with ages between 3 and 11 years and 11 months. The data were gathered through the Protocol of Risk for the Developmental Stuttering. Results: In our findings the ratio male:female was 2.8:1, and the majority of the children were aged 3 years old. Significantly more children presented more than 12 months' duration of the disfluencies when compared to children that presented 6 to 12 months' duration. The majority showed some emotional stress and didn't show any physical stress. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that children with familial recurrence of stuttering, male, with 3 years old, with stuttering--like disfluencies (SLD) lasting for more than 12 months and with the occurrence of emotional stresses are the children that present the higher risk for the development of the persistent stuttering.

“…The etiology of stuttering is multifactorial, as the result of a dynamic interaction between a wide and nonlinear spectrum of risk factors caused during child development (4,5) . Understanding these risk factors is essential to diagnose it early and correctly and so, to provide a more effective intervention for children who stutter.…”

“…1 It is know that the spectrum of risk factors for stuttering is wide and heterogeneous. 2 Stuttering typically begins during the preschool years, which suggests that many important factors act during this developmental process. 3 There is a clinically important reason for identifying stuttering among preschoolers.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: There have been few studies on the risk factors for subgroups of stuttering. The aim of this study was to characterize the risk factors for developmental familial stuttering among boys who stutter and who do not stutter, such as disfluency types, associated quality and communication factors, emotional and physical stress, familial attitudes and personal reactions. DESIGN AND SETTING: Analytical cross-sectional study with a control group, performed at the Fluency Studies Laboratory of the Department of Speech and Hearing Disorders of a public university. METHODS:The parents of 40 age-matched stuttering and non-stuttering boys took part in this study. The participants were divided into two groups: stuttering children (SC) and non-stuttering children (NSC), with ages between 6 years 0 months and 11 years 11 months. Initially, all of the participants underwent a fluency assessment and then data were gathered using the Protocol for the Risk of Developmental Stuttering. RESULTS: There were no differences in the physical stress distribution factors and personal reactions between the groups. Inappropriate familial attitudes were presented by 95% of the SC and 30% of the NSC. Four risk factors analyzed were not shown by the NSC, namely stuttering-like disfluency, quality factors, physical stress and emotional stresses. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that the presence of stuttering-like disfluency, associated quality and communication factors, emotional stress and inappropriate family attitudes are important risk factors for familial developmental stuttering among boys. RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO:Há poucos estudos sobre os fatores de risco para os subgrupos de gagueira. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar os fatores de risco para a gagueira desenvolvimental familial em meninos que gaguejam e que não gaguejam como tipologia das disfluências, fatores qualitativos e comunicativos associados, estresse físico e emocional, atitude familiar e reação pessoal. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo transversal analítico com um grupo controle, realizado no Laboratório de Estudo da Fluência, que faz parte do Departamento de Fonoaudiologia de uma universidade pública. MÉTODOS: Pais de 40 meninos com e sem gagueira pareados por idade fizeram parte do estudo. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: crianças com gagueira e crianças sem gagueira, com idades entre 6 anos 0 meses e 11 anos 11 meses Inicialmente todos os participantes foram submetidos a uma avaliação de fluência e depois os dados foram coletados por meio do Protocolo de Risco para a Gagueira do Desenvolvimento. RESULTADOS: Não foi observada diferença nos fatores de estresse físicos e reações pessoais entre os grupos. As atitudes inadequadas familiares foram apresentadas por 95% das crianças com gagueira e 30% das crianças sem gagueira. Quatro fatores de risco analisados não ocorreram nas crianças sem gagueira, a saber, disfluências gagas, fatores qualitativos, estresse físico e emocional. CONCLUSÕES: Os achados sugerem que a presença ...

“…Finally, there is evidence that ADHD and other learning disabilities such as dyslexia are associated with stuttering (Blood and Seider 1981;Arndt and Healey 2001;Blood et al 2003;Blood et al 2009;Ajdacic-Gross et al 2010). Because the Add Health asked questions aimed at assessing whether respondents had a learning disability such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or dyslexia, we are able to explore whether these factors help explain the relationship between stuttering and the outcomes under study.…”

A number of studies have shown that childhood speech impairments such as stuttering are associated with lower test scores and educational attainment. However, it is unclear whether this result is causal in nature or whether it can be explained by difficult-to-measure heterogeneity at the community, family, or individual level. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and ordinary least squares, we show that stuttering is negatively associated with high school grades, the probability of high school graduation, and the probability of college attendance. However, empirical specifications with family fixed effects or controls for learning disabilities such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder suggest that these associations can, in large part, be explained by difficult-to-measure heterogeneity.
