“…A possible interpretation is that young people who continue to stutter, over time, experience an escalation in negativity regarding their communications skills. Interestingly, however, researchers did not find significant correlations between %SS and other sections of the OASES among adolescents, thereby highlighting the fact that adverse impact can exist independent from the degree of stuttering that a listener may observe (e.g., Blumgart, Tran, Yaruss, & Craig, 2012;Koedoot, Versteegh, & Yaruss, 2011;Mulcahy et al, 2008).…”

In this study, we examined the impact of a stuttering disorder on children (n=50) and adolescents (n=45) living in Western Australia. We compared the reactions and experiences of children and adolescents who stutter to children and adolescents who do not stutter. We compared the participants who stuttered and the fluent participants using adapted versions of the Overall Assessment of the Speaker’s Experience of Stuttering (OASES). We also examined the relationship between biopsychosocial impact and stuttered speech frequency. We saw higher levels of adverse impact in young people who stuttered compared to their fluent peers. In addition, we found moderate correlations between OASES scores and stuttered speech frequency in children. These findings provided a baseline for establishing the degree of negative impact that a stuttering disorder may bring about in children and adolescents. The experiences of young people who stuttered were significantly different from the experiences of young people who were typically fluent. These findings reinforce the notion that stuttering is a disorder that can lead to negative impact for young people.

“…38,39 What we know about the experiences of young people who stutter, and why this is important in their treatment: That is, as the child gets older, adverse impact is not determined by overt speech disruptions. 38,41,42 The traditional surface severity of the young person's stuttered speech does not indicate how much they may be struggling with the impact of the disorder. The surface picture is potentially misleading-those who present as "mild" may well be suffering as much or more than those whose stuttered speech is more noticeable and visible.…”

Stuttering requires a multidimensional perspective given that, in recent years, researchers have shown the impact of the disorder to reach far beyond the surface components with demonstrated psychosocial and anxiety effects for the individual living with a stutter. This article explores the impact a stuttering disorder has on the individual (child, adolescent, and adult) and on their family members (siblings, parents, and partners). These experiences include behavioral and social difficulties, self-awareness, reactions to stuttering, communication difficulties in daily situations, and overall quality of life. The influence of stuttering on the most intimate relationships of the person who stutters is presented. An overview of stuttering across the life span is discussed in terms of stuttering in children and adolescents, and the significant levels of adverse impact as a result of living with a stutter are described. In addition, the impact that the stuttering disorder has on the parents and siblings of children who stutter is also detailed through significant findings pertaining to lack of attachment and trust between the young people and their parents. The responsibilities and demands on parents and siblings in the family context are highlighted. Focus is also placed on the experience of living with a person who stutters from the perspective of their life partner. Perceived quality of life is explored with unexpected differences recounted between the quality of life experienced by the adult who stutters and their partner's perceptions of this disorder. Finally, the potential for a novel Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for individuals who stutter is presented.

“…In recent years, many authors have embraced the idea that stuttering is a multidimensional disorder [59,60] and that people who stutter are a heterogeneous group. Moreover, the severity of stuttering a person exhibits may be only moderately related-or even unrelated-to the adverse psychosocial impact he or she experiences [61][62][63]. Therefore, for this study, treatment plans included multiple goals tailored to the unique needs of the individual.…”

Purpose: Recent investigations into the area of resilience have applied a risk-and-protective factor model, allowing for the identification of risks, while also identifying positive contextual, social, and individual factors that facilitate individual resilience (Zimmerman, Stoddard, Eisman, Caldwell, Aiyer, and Miller, 2013). Adolescents who stutter are at risk for poor socialemotional development due to adverse speaking experiences and subsequent emotional responses from stuttering. The primary purpose of this pilot investigation was to examine the impact of a specialized group fluency program on promoting resiliency in adolescents who stutter. The secondary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between resilience and overall impact of stuttering.Methods: Five adolescents who stutter ranging from ages 9-17 participated in an 8-week group fluency program, which aimed to increase resiliency by targeting three protective factors known to promote resiliency: self efficacy, social functioning, and peer support. To measure the change in resiliency following intervention, participants completed the The Child and Youth Resilience Measure-28 (CYRM-28) preceding and following intervention. The correlation between resiliency and the overall impact of stuttering was evaluated through post-test analyses of the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OA-SES) and CYRM-28 scores.Results: Results indicated a statistically significant increase in resilience and a moderate negative correlation between the CYRM-28 and OASES.Conclusions: These findings suggest that participation in a specialized, group intervention program can enhance resilience in adolescents who stutter and, consequently, decrease the overall impact of stuttering in their lives.
