“…A speech-associated negative attitude in individuals who stutter is reported to be present at a young age [9,[15][16][17][18]. Specifically, the onset of a negative speech-associated attitude is identified in children who stutter (CWS) as early as pre-school age [15,[19][20][21][22]. It is also described that CWS experience reduced social acceptance [23], teasing and bullying by peers [24] and difficulty in making friends [25] and "fitting in" at school [26].…”

Background: A large body of evidence suggests that the Communication Attitude Test (CAT) is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the speech-associated attitude of school-age children who stutter (CWS). Objective: The purpose of the present study was to adapt and validate the CAT for the Kannada-speaking school-age CWS. Methods: The original version of the CAT was forward- and back-translated by the first author. The Communication Attitude Test Kannada (CAT-K) was then administered to 293 children who do not stutter (CWNS) and 100 CWS. All children were native speakers of the Kannada language and were between the ages of 7 and 14 years. The Stuttering Severity Instrument-fourth edition (SSI-4) was used to estimate the severity of stuttering. Results: The data revealed that, in comparison to CWNS, the CWS’ mean CAT-K score was significantly higher, and a significant effect of stuttering severity and age on mean attitude scores was observed. In addition, results showed that the CAT-K is a reliable and valid test. Conclusion: The findings suggest the presence of a negative attitude in Kannada-speaking CWS and that the CAT-K is a useful tool in the assessment of Kannada school-age CWS. Given the need for speech-language pathologists to address a speech-associated negative attitude in CWS, incorporating the CAT-K as part of the diagnostic assessment of stuttering is valuable.
