“…Because children may not have a full understanding of the ways in which stuttering might affect them, however, it is also important for clinicians to gather information from parents. This can be done through informal interviews or through formal scales, such as the Palin Parent Rating Scales [9], and observational rating scales, such as those included in the Test of Childhood Stuttering [9,19,20]. These measures may provide information about the child's behavioural and emotional reactions to stuttering beyond the clinic context [21][22][23].…”

Background/Aims: Previous research has provided information about how school-aged children perceive their own stuttering; however, less is known about how stuttering is perceived by their parents. The ways that parents view their children's stuttering could influence how the children themselves react to it. This study proceeds to assess how parents' perceptions of the impact of stuttering relate to the perceptions of children. Method: Participants were 50 children who stutter aged 7-12 years (mean = 9.10; SD = 1.7) and their parents, recruited from different cities in Portugal. The European Portuguese version of the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering was administered to the children, and an adapted version of the tool was administered to their parents. Results: Both parents and children showed generally similar overall impact ratings, typically falling in the mild and moderate ranges. Differences were observed in families with a history of stuttering: for those families, a comparison of parents' and children's scores revealed, in some domains, that parents perceived the impact of stuttering to be greater than the children did, especially related with children's reactions to stuttering and their quality of life. Conclusion: Knowledge about how parents perceive the impact of stuttering on their children is important because families can play a key role in helping children cope with stuttering. These findings highlight the benefits of using an individualized treatment approach for each child that focuses on their perceptions, as well as on those of the parents, in order to address negative attitudes toward children's stuttering.

“…For example, Yairi et al ( 2005 ) (cited in Yairi and Ambrose, 2013 ) reported very close agreement between parent and clinician's identification of stuttering. Along similar lines, Einarsdóttir and Ingham ( 2009 ) compared parents of children who stuttered (CWS) vs. parents of children who did not stutter (CNS) vs. two highly experienced clinicians in terms of accuracy and consistency of identifying moments of stuttering. Einarsdóttir and Ingham ( 2009 ) found that parents of CWS were highly accurate, and more accurate than parents of CNS, in classifying disfluencies as stuttering vs. typical.…”

Bilingualism as a risk factor for false reports of stuttering in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-K:2011)

IntroductionBilingualism has historically been claimed to be a risk factor for developmental stuttering. The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) ostensibly contains evidence to test that claim.MethodsWe analyze data from monolingual and bilingual children in Kindergarten through fifth grade in the ECLS-K:2011.Results and discussionThe prevalence, male/female ratio, and onset and recovery of reported stuttering in the ECLS are inconsistent with widely-accepted clinical reports of stuttering. We argue that the reported figures may be misleading. We discuss some factors that may inflate the reported prevalence, including a lack of awareness of the difference between stuttering vs. normal disfluencies, and the informal usage of the word “stuttering” on the part of teachers and parents to describe typical disfluencies.

“…This categorization was based on parental reports only, and has been used in several previous studies investigating persistency in and recovery from stuttering in childhood ( Dworzynski et al, 2007 , Kloth et al, 1999 , Koenraads et al, 2019 , Månsson, 2000 ). Parents of children who stutter and parents of fluently speaking children can accurately and reliably identify stuttering ( Bloodstein and Bernstein Ratner, 2008 , Einarsdottir and Ingham, 2009 ).…”

Highlights Brain (micro-)structural differences were found in pre-adolescents who stutter. Persistency was associated with marginally smaller left frontal gray matter volume. Recovery was associated with higher mean diffusivity in white matter tracts. Distinct brain structures implicated in persistence and recovery of stuttering.

Accuracy of parent identification of stuttering occurrence

Abstract: Parents of children who stutter may be both accurate and reliable in identifying brief intervals of speech containing stuttering and non-stuttering in their own children.
