The Effects of Different Sources and Modalities of Stuttering Disclosure on Listeners ’ Perceptions of a Child Who Stutters
Discussion: Results of this analysis reveal that verbal stuttering disclosure is significantly more effective in improving listeners ’ perceptions of a CWS, when compared to written stuttering disclosures.
