Summary
Tele-intervention offers benefits and challenges for stuttering therapy in South Africa. A hybrid model integrating tele-intervention and in-person therapy is preferred by persons who stutter (PWS).
Area of Science:
- Speech-language pathology
- Telehealth
- Stuttering treatment
Background:
- Tele-intervention adoption surged during COVID-19, necessitating remote healthcare delivery.
- Limited research exists on tele-intervention for stuttering treatment in South Africa.
- Speech-language therapists (SLTs) need insights for effective remote stuttering therapy, despite challenges like loadshedding.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore client experiences with tele-intervention for stuttering therapy.
- To offer recommendations for enhancing tele-intervention service delivery.
Main Methods:
- Semi-structured interviews with 11 persons who stutter (PWS).
- Participants had experience with both tele-intervention and in-person treatment.
- Inductive thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were employed.
Main Results:
- Four themes emerged: user perceptions, technical infrastructure, financial/access issues, and comparison to in-person therapy.
- User experiences with tele-intervention for stuttering were diverse.
- No significant preference difference was found between tele-intervention and in-person treatment.
Conclusions:
- Tele-intervention presents both advantages and disadvantages for stuttering therapy.
- User perspectives are crucial for designing effective tele-intervention services in South Africa.
- A hybrid intervention model, combining tele-intervention and in-person therapy, is recommended for PWS.

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.
