Children who persist in stuttering showed greater phonological improvement over two years compared to those who recovered. This longitudinal study tracked phonological skills in persistent and recovered stuttering groups, finding identical error rates by year two.

Area of Science:

  • Speech and Language Pathology
  • Childhood Developmental Disorders
  • Linguistic Phonology

Background:

  • This study continues research on phonological impairment in children who stutter.
  • Previous work indicated poorer phonological skills in children with persistent stuttering compared to those who spontaneously recover.
  • This report examines the longitudinal progression of phonological skills in these groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the phonological development of children who stutter over a two-year period.
  • To compare the phonological progress of children whose stuttering persists versus those who recover spontaneously.
  • To investigate the relationship between stuttering persistence and phonological skill acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal assessment of phonological skills in 84 young children who stutter.

  • Comparison of phonological error rates at initial assessment, 1-year, and 2-year follow-ups.
  • Evaluation of mastery of 10 basic phonological patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • At the 1-year mark, the significant difference in phonological skills between persistent and recovered stuttering groups diminished.
    • Children with persistent stuttering demonstrated greater phonological improvement than those who recovered.
    • By the 2-year visit, phonological error rates were identical between groups, with most children mastering basic phonological patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Phonological skills in children who stutter evolve over time, with persistent stutterers showing catch-up improvement.
    • The initial disparity in phonological abilities may not predict long-term outcomes definitively.
    • Findings suggest a complex interplay between stuttering persistence and phonological development, relevant for understanding the disorder's nature.
