“…The need to engage in unpredictable and time-pressured verbal communication may cause PWS discomfort and stress, and lead them to question their professional competence (Bricker-Katz, Lincoln, & Cumming, 2013). In one study, nearly three-quarters of respondents reported that they felt their stuttering meant certain jobs were out of bounds (Butler, 2014) -a perception that may be heightened because they are tracked into specific occupational roles that are often perceived as undesirable (Gabel, Blood, Tellis, & Althouse, 2004). This phenomenon, known as occupational stereotyping, has been found to take place in higher education.…”

This study examines representation of disabilities by conducting a qualitative content analysis of how 41 journalism/mass communication textbooks frame the ideal standards of verbal communication for media professionals. Textbooks are integral to students' understanding of professional norms and may influence career decisions. Results show that textbooks rarely address the topic of speech disabilities, describing them as "roadblocks to success." Instead, authors often address best practices in broadcast voicing and the value of projecting confidence in interviews and press conferences. What are the explicit and implicit messages for students with speech disabilities such as stuttering? We argue that such framing is a critical media literacy issue because it addresses media diversity and access.

Background: In this paper, two new measures of public attitudes toward stuttering, the public opinion survey of human attributes-stuttering/child (POSHA-S/Child), an epidemiological instrument for young children, and the appraisal of the stuttering environment (ASE), a clinical self-report instrument to measure attitudes among family members and close friends of stuttering clients, are compared with the widely-used public opinion survey of human attributes-stuttering (POSHA-S). Previous studies were integrated with a new study to document that both the POSHA-S/Child and the ASE provide similar summary ratings (Beliefs and Self Reactions sub scores and Overall Stuttering Scores) to the POSHA-S.

“…In addition, PWS experience negative consequences in terms of intimate and social relations [4]. Subsequent researchers have found that adolescents who stutter are more likely to be teased or bullied at school [3,5,6].…”

“…Gabel et al [4] indicated that stuttering profoundly affected individual's interpersonal relationships. In fact, the way in which PWS cope with their communication disorder and develop interpersonal relationships depends strongly on the way listeners who do not stutter react to them.…”

Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by repetitions, prolongations, interjections, hesitations and blocks. The prevalence rate of persons who stutter in the World is 1%. Kenya has an estimated 440, 000 persons who stutter, out of which 16,606 live in Kakamega county. Results from a baseline survey carried out in counties in Wesstern Kenya Region between 2010 and 2013 to find out the distribution of Learners Who Stutter (LWS) indicated that; Kakamega had 138, Vihiga 84, Bungoma 33, and Busia 10. In Kakamega county these learners were enrolled in 20 schools. The same survey showed that LWS are getting less than 250 marks out of possible 500 marks. Research has shown that this low performance is due to stuttering effects such as anxiety, stigma, fear, frustrations and embarrassment to the LWS while speaking. However, the influence of these stuttering effects on social interaction among learners are unknown. The purpose of study was to determine the influence of stuttering effects on social interactions among LWS. Objective of study were to; establish the status of social interactions among LWS and determine influence of stuttering effects on social interactions among LWS. The study employed descriptive survey and correlation research designs. The target population consisted of 84 LWS, 2301 regular learners in class six, seven and eight; 120 teachers and 20 head teachers. Stratified random sampling was used to select 329 regular learners, while saturated sampling was used to select 76 LWS, 108 teachers and 18 head teachers. Data was collected using questionnaire, interview schedule, and observation guide. Face and content validity of instruments was established. Reliability of instruments was established through test-retest method on 10% of study population using Pearson correlation; reliability was accepted at 0.7 and above. Quantitative data was analyzed and presented in percentages and means. Multiple regressions were used to find out effects of stuttering on social interactions among LWS. Qualitative data was transcribed, analyzed and reported in emergent themes and sub-themes. The findings of the study indicated that Effects of stuttering explained 57.8% (R 2 Change= .578) p<.05 negative variance in social interactions among LWS. The finding further indicated that LWS had difficulties in social interactions due to effects of stuttering and this may explain their poor performance in class if they cannot interact easily with their peers and teachers. In conclusion, the effects of stuttering negatively influenced social interactions among LWS. Keywords: effects of stuttering, social interactions, learners who stutter. BACKGROUNDSocial interaction is the ability of two or more people to communicate or acknowledge one another and form relationships. It is important in the formation of relationships, interaction, influencing social roles, status and fostering the wellbeing of one another in the society. Davis, Howell and Cooke [1] carried out a study to establish the socio-dynamic relationships bet...
