“…Further, persisting children did not differ significantly from recovered children on measures of receptive vocabulary 0.20]). When expressive vocabulary data fromSinger et al (2019a) andKefalianos et al (2017) were excluded, there was an insufficient number of studies to conduct a meta-analysis.The length of language samples analyzed varied across studies:Kloth et al (1999) analyzed 10-min speech samples,Hollister et al (2017) analyzed 100-utterance speech samples,Buhr (2007) analyzed 50-utterance speech samples, andWatkins et al (1999) analyzed 250-to 300-utterance speech samples. Further,Hollister et al (2017) hand calculated IPSYN, whereasKloth et al (1999) used a computer program.…”

Purpose The purpose of this meta-analytic study was to identify clinical characteristics, defined as child factors that can be assessed by a speech-language pathologist as part of a routine speech-language evaluation that may differentiate children who persist in stuttering from children who eventually recover from stuttering. Clinical characteristics explored included sex, age at onset, family history of stuttering, stuttering frequency and severity, speech-language skills, and temperament. Method Studies were identified through electronic databases, journals, and reference lists of relevant reports (e.g., research articles). Eligible studies followed young children who stutter (i.e., under 6 years old) for at least 24 months, assessed a potential clinical marker at study entry, and determined talker group classification (i.e., persistent or recovered) at study completion. Sex and family history differences were estimated using risk ratios; all other differences were estimated using Hedges's g . Heterogeneity and methodological differences among studies were evaluated. Results Eleven studies (41 reports) met eligibility criteria. Persistent children were older at stuttering onset and exhibited higher frequencies of stuttering-like disfluencies, lower speech sound accuracy, and lower expressive and receptive language skills than recovered children. Males and children with a family history of stuttering were also more likely to persist. Conclusions Clinical characteristics were identified that are associated with increased risk for stuttering persistence. Future studies have the potential to translate these clinical characteristics into prognostic markers for stuttering persistence risk.

“…This work has recently been replicated using 3 years of language samples from children in the ISRP; recovered children show steeper growth in expressive language complexity than do peers who were still stuttering at the conclusion of that project (Hsu et al, in review). Similarly, in a smaller sample tracked at Iowa (Hollister et al, 2017), researchers found that higher levels of expressive grammatical development over an 18-month period were associated with recovery in a sample of preschool CWS between 28 and 43 months of age. In another small sample of Korean recovered and persistent CWS (Lee et al, 2019), persistently stuttering children showed lower language skills at first visit than those who recovered; slower development of accurate case marker use still distinguished these children from peers who recovered over an 18-month period.…”

Although commonly defined as a speech disorder, stuttering interacts with the language production system in important ways. Our purpose is to summarize research findings on linguistic variables that influence stuttering assessment and treatment. Method and Results: Numerous topics are summarized. First, we review research that has examined linguistic features that increase stuttering frequency and influence where it occurs. Second, we tackle the question of whether or not persons who stutter exhibit subtle language differences or deficits. Next, we explore language factors that appear to influence recovery from early stuttering in children. The final topic discusses the unique challenges inherent in differentially diagnosing stuttering in bilingual children. Clinical implications for each topic are discussed. Discussion: The article concludes with a discussion of the unique differences in the integration of language and speech demands by people who stutter, when compared with people who are typically fluent, and their clinical ramifications.

“…For some children, stuttering can persist to adulthood, whereas others may recover without treatment (Bloodstein & Bernstein Ratner, 2008 ; Bloodstein et al, 2021 ; Yairi & Ambrose, 2013 ). Recovery is reported to be associated with the development of more complex syntactic and grammatical skills (Hollister et al, 2017 ; Leech et al, 2017 ).…”

Background A few studies have explored the life experiences of people who stutter. Research has shown that stuttering affects a significant number of people in the population. Objectives The study was designed to explore the experiences of people who stutter and the perception of stuttering in South Africa. Method Four people who identified as South Africans who stutter participated in this study. The primary investigator conducted semi-structured interviews with each of the participants. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to 20 acquaintances of all the participants. Transcriptions of interviews and results of questionnaires were analysed for major and minor themes. Results Results of this study suggest different perceptions by those who stutter and those acquainted with them. The findings of the study show that people who stutter experience communication barriers, so they adopt certain strategies to manage and cope with their speech disorder. The findings showed that stuttering has a pervasive impact on the lives of people who stutter and how they view themselves, considering negative societal views. Conclusion Evaluation of the results from the study reveals that although stuttering is a common speech disorder, many people who are less informed about it harbour various stereotypes and myths that stigmatise stuttering. This study concludes by outlining recommendations for creating awareness of stuttering. It suggests vigorous campaigns aiming at promoting a multilevel approach that extends beyond the mere social and professional understanding of stuttering but addresses the inherent perceptions, myths, and stereotypes around stuttering. Contribution Experiences of people who stutter and perceptions towards stuttering can help to better understand the speech disorder and overcome myths and stereotyping of stuttering.
