The identification of stuttering in bilingual children

Mullis, Anna Katherine 17 June 2011 (has links)
The purpose of the present study was to examine, based on audio samples in both languages, the accuracy of diagnosis of the presence or absence of stuttering in a bilingual Spanish English (SE) child who may or may not stutter by bilingual SE speech- language pathologists (SLPs) living in Texas (n=14). This study also aimed to determine what speech characteristics (if any) influenced SLPs’ judgment of whether or not a bilingual SE child was a stutterer, as well as to explore whether personal characteristics of the bilingual SLPs who completed the ratings (i.e., years experience, confidence in diagnosing an SE child with stuttering, educational history on the topics of stuttering and/or bilingualism) uniquely impacted the accuracy of their diagnosis. Information gained from this study suggests that the atypically frequent (in comparison to monolingual children) word and phrases repetitions produced by bilingual SE children who do not stutter may put this population at risk for misdiagnosis of stuttering. Results also indicate that the accuracy of identification of a bilingual SE child who does not stutter is not influenced by any of the personal characteristics listed above. Rather, there seems to be an overall lack of knowledge regarding the speech disfluencies that differentiate bilingual SE children who do and do not stutter. Thus, the preliminary data from this investigation warrants a follow-up study of the same nature on a nationwide scale. / text

The differential role of the SSI with normal preschool children

Semler, Caroline Joy 01 January 1987 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the disfluency characteristics of normal 33-39 month old children in order to determine the differential role of the SSI with young children. The following questions were answered: 1. What are the types and frequencies of disfluencies demonstrated by normal 33-39 month old children? 2. How do the scores of normal 33-39 month old children distribute on the Stuttering Severity Instrument?

Disfluencies in normal three-year-old and five-year-old male children

Christianson, Pamela Paguia 01 January 1987 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of specific disfluencies in 3 year old and 5 year old normal male children in terms of part-word repetitions, word repetitions, phrase repetitions, interjections, revision-incomplete phrases, disrhythmic phonations and tense pauses. The disfluencies were observed while each child spontaneously interacted with an investigator in a clinical room. Two questions were addressed: 1. Do three-year-old male children exhibit a higher overall frequency of disfluencies than five-yearold male children? 2. Do three-year-old male children exhibit a greater frequency of certain disfluencies than five-year old male children?

Birth order, parenting and stuttering.

James, Bathea S. January 1994 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Work. / The study sought to investigate the relationship of maternal and paternal attitudes and child-rearing practices towards children of different birth order positions. The research also investigated possible differences in the childrearing practices and attitudes toward" their children, of parents who had a child that stuttered, and of parents ill which there was no child wuo stuttered in the family. The research was conducted among a selected sample of forty three families who were matched on certain variables. Group A comprised thirty families in which there was no child who stuttered, and Group B comprised thirteen families each of whom had a child who had been identified as suffering from the disorder of stuttering. The data were collected by means of a postal questionnaire, and then analysed quantitavely and qualitatively using various statistical analyses. Selected variables were studied in an attempt to assess the possible effects on children as a result of birth order, parenting and stuttering. Findings revealed that parental attitudes towards the children of different birth order positions were not significantly different, However, the parents' expectations of and perceptions of their firstborn child's intelligence differed from their expectations and perceptions of their other children, No differences in child-rearing were identified between the parents of children who stuttered. and the parents of children who did not stutter. However, the parents in Group B reflected more confidence in their parenting skills. Religious centres were identified as being a popular venue for parenting programmes especially for the parents in Group A. Practice guidelines for social workers rendering services to the family in which there was a child who had the disorder of programmes were enumerated. Social workers need to be aware of the individual in interaction with an levels of the ecosystem. Social workers must also take cognizance of alternate family structures, the importance of the father in the development of the child and for Inclusi..a in therapy and benefits and methods of parenting programmes as a preventative tool to alleviate the possibility of future pathology. / Andrew Chakane 2018

The value of the SPI in forecasting chronic stuttering

Stork, Dena Diane 01 January 1991 (has links)
Speech-language pathologists are in need of useful assessment instruments which differentiate early stuttering behaviors and will enable them to identify preschool children who need immediate intervention for stuttering. Furthermore, useful assessment tools are needed especially due to the variability across studies of normal disfluency and lack of reliability information on more formal measures of differential evaluation of normal disfluency and incipient stuttering.

Some aspects of the nature and incidence of stuttering among Indian primary school children in Durban.

Jithoo, Roychand. January 1971 (has links)
Stuttering has been a complex problem ever since the early history of man. It has been found to exist in some cultures to a greater extent than in others. In certain primitive cultures the phenomenon of stuttering was reported to be unknown, yet when members of these cultures were influenced by western environments some incidence of stuttering occurred among them. The influence of the environment therefore cannot be disregarded when considering causes of stuttering. Although much research has been done by speech pathologists among various world cultures they have by no means completed their task for there are many groups, living in a variety of societies, which are yet to be studied. The present rudimentary investigation into stuttering among Indians living in Durban may be regarded as a contribution to the knowledge that has already been accumulated. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1971.
