A case study of bilingual neurogenic stuttering: Measures of fluency, emotion, and articulation rate
CONCLUSIONS: Cross-linguistics differences for emotion and articulation rate demonstrates that these aspects impact on fluency and contributes to the disfluencies in each language. Clinical implications of the study demonstrates the importance of assessment of bilingual (i.e., proficiency and dominance) and fluency features of each language in the diagnostic process and the significance of considering emotional processes and articulation rate as part of a comprehensive intervention plan for acquired stuttering.PMID:38065050 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106385 (Source: Journal of Communication Disorders)

Self-Reported Stuttering Severity Is Accurate: Informing Methods for Large-Scale Data Collection in Stuttering
CONCLUSIONS: Participants were able to accurately rate their stuttering severity during a speech assessment using a simple one-item question. This finding indicates that self-report stuttering severity is a suitable method for large-scale data collection. Findings also support the collection of self-report subjective experience data using questionnaires, such as the OASES, which add vital information about the participants' experience of stuttering that is not captured by overt speech severity ratings alone.PMID:38052068 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00081 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Meta-analysis of structural integrity of white matter and functional connectivity in developmental stuttering
Brain Res Bull. 2023 Nov 25:110827. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110827. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDevelopmental stuttering is a speech disfluency disorder characterized by repetitions, prolongations, and blocks of speech. While a number of neuroimaging studies have identified alterations in localized brain activation during speaking in persons with stuttering (PWS), it is unclear whether neuroimaging evidence converges on alterations in structural integrity of white matter and functional connectivity (FC) among multiple regions involved in supporting fluent speech. In the present study, we conducted coordinate-bas...

Preferred Communication Strategies for People with Communication Disabilities in Health Care Encounters: a Qualitative Study
ConclusionsFor patients with CDs, it is critical to acknowledge and document the CD and individualize communication strategies during healthcare visits to facilitate communication. Studies are needed to evaluate whether improved communication strategy usage leads to improved health outcomes for this population. (Source: Journal of General Internal Medicine)

Neural oscillatory activity and connectivity in children who stutter during a non-speech motor task
ConclusionsTaken together, these findings indicate weaker engagement of the contralateral left motor network in children who stutter even during low-demand non-speech tasks, and suggest that the right hemisphere might be recruited to support sensorimotor processing in childhood stuttering. Differences in oscillatory dynamics occurred despite comparable task performance between groups, indicating that an altered balance of cortical activity might be a core aspect of stuttering, observable during normal motor behavior.

Relationships Between Psychological Distress and Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive Experiences of Stuttering
CONCLUSIONS: Levels of PD in PWS approximate those of the general community, highlighting the existence of psychologically distressed subgroups of PWS. Speech situation-specific anxiety had the strongest relationship to PD, followed closely by one's report of situation-specific speech disruption. To a lesser but still significant extent, PWS' frequency to which they engage in various avoidance/escape behaviors, as well as their communication attitude, predicted levels of psychopathology. These data inform diagnostic and clinical decision making, drawing attention to factors that should be attended to in treatment.PMID:3795...
