“…There are very few scientific studies on the use of SAR in speech and language therapy practice [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The most frequently used robot is of the NAO type, which participates with children with CD in individual sessions.…”

The use of innovative technology in the field of Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) has gained significant attention nowadays. Despite being a promising research area, Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) have not been thoroughly studied and used in SLT. This paper makes two main contributions: firstly, providing a comprehensive review of existing research on the use of SARs to enhance communication skills in children and adolescents. Secondly, organizing the information into tables that categorize the interactive play scenarios described in the surveyed papers. The inclusion criteria for play scenarios in the tables are based only on their effectiveness for SLT proven by experimental findings. The data, systematically presented in a table format, allow readers to easily find relevant information based on various factors, such as disorder type, age, treatment technique, robot type, etc. The study concludes that the despite limited research on the use of social robots for children and adolescents with communication disorders (CD), promising outcomes have been reported. The authors discuss the methodological, technical, and ethical limitations related to the use of SARs for SLT in clinical or home environments, as well as the huge potential of conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a secondary assistive technology to facilitate speech and language interventions.

“…The etiology of stuttering has been linked to various psychosocial elements, including suppressed emotions and internal conflicts. Some theories suggest that individuals who stutter might exhibit psychological differences compared to non-stutterers (9)(10)(11). One notable theory is the two-factor theory by Butten and Shoemaker, which associates stuttering with a disruption in speech due to classically conditioned negative emotions (8).…”

Background: Stuttering, a complex fluency disorder, often coexists with social anxiety, impacting individuals' communicative competence and quality of life. The intersection of these conditions can exacerbate the challenges faced by adults who stutter, influencing their social participation, educational and professional success, and social status. Objective: The study aimed to elucidate the relationship between stuttering and social anxiety in adults and to determine the extent to which social anxiety affects stuttering severity across various social situations. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with 80 adults, split into two groups based on the presence (30 participants) or absence (50 participants) of social anxiety. Data were collected on stuttering frequency and severity during common social interactions such as using a telephone, eating, and speaking in public. Stuttering severity was classified as none, mild, moderate, or severe. Statistical analysis was employed to compare the prevalence of stuttering across different social scenarios between the two groups. Results: The presence of social anxiety was associated with higher instances of no stuttering during telephone use (86.7%), small group activities (60%), and eating in public (56.7%). In contrast, participants without social anxiety showed higher rates of mild stuttering in these situations (62%, 68%, and 50%, respectively). Social anxiety did not correlate with moderate or severe stuttering in any assessed situation. Conclusion: Social anxiety in adults who stutter correlates with a reduced frequency of stuttering in certain social situations. However, the absence of social anxiety is associated with an increased occurrence of mild stuttering. These findings suggest that social anxiety may have a mitigating effect on stuttering severity, highlighting the need for integrated clinical approaches to address both speech and psychological aspects of stuttering.
