The fact that the critical age for stuttering onset parallels the age span when significant rapid developments occur in the anatomy of the speech system, as well as in complex language and articulatory skills, invites speculations that interferences in these maturational processes contribute to stuttering hence the possibility of relations among stuttering, language, and articulation. From clinical considerations, these statistics call for greater emphasis on preparing clinicians for working with early childhood stuttering. Leaving room for some sampling errors, children past age 4 face a relatively low risk for stuttering. Data obtained at the University of Illinois Stuttering Research Program revealed that for 65% of the child participants, stuttering onset occurred prior to age 3 the figure rose to 85% by 3 1/2 years of age (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005). Although the disorder begins within a wide age-range, current robust evidence indicates that, for a very large proportion of cases, it erupts during the preschool period. Thus, it is necessary to pay special attention to its prevention and treatment before it is developed into a completed and progressive condition.Īge is among the strongest risk factors for stuttering with several important implications.
Results: This study showed a significant difference between the groups in mean scores of QOL, general and emotional health, social and physical functions, vitality and role limitations made by physical and emotional problems (P 0.05).Ĭonclusions: Stuttering has negative effects on different dimensions of QOL among individuals. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare data between the groups and ANOVA test was also used to evaluate the correlation between stuttering severity and QOL dimensions. Short-form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire of QOL was used to collect data and the percentage of syllables stuttered (%SS) was determined in a spontaneous speech sample as a frequency measurement tool. Patients and Methods: This analytic-descriptive study was performed on 78 adults (61 males and 17 females) who stuttered and 78 normal control cases in Mashhad City, Iran. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the QOL and its relationship with stuttering severity in adults who stutter. Recognizing the quality of life (QOL) dimensions in adults who stutter can be useful in treatment planning and preventing later mental, emotional and social disorders. Rowan Atkinson is one of the persons with stuttering problem, but he did not close himself behind the door and faced the world with great courage, determination and enthusiasm.īackground: Stuttering is potentially a socio communicational problem, which has negative effects on individuals’ mental and emotional health and other aspects of life.
