Area of Science:

Speech-Language Pathology
Child Development
Communication Disorders

Background:

Traditional speech sampling for childhood stuttering often occurs in clinical settings, limiting naturalistic data.
Home-based recordings can be subject to parent bias and logistical challenges.
Accurate, real-world speech data is crucial for understanding and treating stuttering in young children.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel remote speech sampling method for preschool children who stutter.
To assess the feasibility, quality, and reliability of remote speech sampling compared to in-home recordings.
To identify the advantages of remote speech sampling for clinical and research purposes.

Main Methods:

Twenty parents engaged preschool children who stutter in play activities at home.

A researcher remotely telephoned the parent and recorded the child's speech using a phone-recording jack and digital audio recorder.

Parents also placed an audio recorder nearby for comparative in-home recordings.

Main Results:

Children as young as 2 years successfully participated in the remote speech sampling.
Remote recordings demonstrated superior acoustic and linguistic quality compared to in-home recordings.
Stutter-count measures derived from remote and in-home recordings showed no significant differences in means or reliability.

Conclusions:

The novel remote speech sampling method is effective and feasible for preschool children who stutter.
This method offers cost-efficiency, standardization, and improved data quality for naturalistic speech sampling.
Remote sampling reduces bias, enhances parent compliance, and allows for real-time quality control by researchers.
