Self-Stigma of Stuttering: Implications for Communicative Participation and Mental Health

CONCLUSIONS: Accounting for self-stigma in the assessment and treatment of individuals who stutter may identify and ultimately reduce environmental and personal barriers to communicative functioning and well-being in people who stutter. The self-stigma terminology and model described in this study will help practitioners, researchers, and the public better understand the process of self-stigma and how it may be associated with adverse outcomes experienced by people who stutter.PMID:37524109 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00098
