Summary
Half of preschool children who stutter also show Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. These children need more therapy time for successful fluency outcomes, highlighting the need for tailored stuttering interventions.
Area of Science:
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Child Psychology
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Background:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms are common in children who stutter.
- These symptoms can impact the effectiveness of stuttering treatment.
- Understanding this comorbidity is crucial for effective intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the proportion of preschool children who stutter exhibiting ADHD symptoms.
- To explore differences in stuttering treatment responsiveness between children with and without ADHD symptoms.
Main Methods:
- 185 preschool children who stutter were analyzed post-therapy.
- Data included pre-treatment stuttering features, demographics, and treatment outcomes.
- Children were grouped based on the presence of elevated ADHD symptoms.
Main Results:
- 50% of participants had elevated ADHD symptoms.
- Children with ADHD symptoms required 25% more intervention time for fluency.
- Higher ADHD symptoms, stuttering severity, and male sex correlated with poorer treatment response.
Conclusions:
- A significant number of children who stutter present with ADHD symptoms.
- Tailored stuttering interventions are needed for children with ADHD symptoms.
- Caseload management and prognostic information should consider these individual differences.

01:30Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
980
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

01:20Elevation of Intermediate Points on Vertical Curves
295
Vertical curves are essential in roadway design because they provide smooth transitions between varying roadway grades. Designing vertical curves involves calculating intermediate elevations and identifying the curve's highest or lowest point, which is essential for optimal roadway performance.Intermediate elevations on a vertical curve are determined using the tangent offset method. This method considers the initial elevation at the start of the curve, the grades, and the curve's geometry. The...

01:15Diabetes: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications
2.3K
For most patients, experiencing several weeks of polyuria, polydipsia, fatigue, and significant weight loss may indicate the presence of diabetes. Furthermore, adults displaying the phenotypic appearance of type 2 diabetes (particularly those who are obese and not initially insulin-requiring), may have islet cell autoantibodies, suggesting autoimmune-mediated β cell destruction and a diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). The categorization of glucose homeostasis is...

01:30Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia
564
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

02:18Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
19.4K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...
