Predictors of effectiveness of stuttering therapy for preschool children |
Secondary abstract: |
The aim of this research work was to verify the effectiveness of direct therapy for preschool children who stutter according to the following predictors: types of disfluency, sex and temperament. The research work was carried out at Center za sluh in govor Maribor.
The sample included 34 preschool children whose first occurrence of stuttering had appeared during their 2nd and 4th year and lasted for at least 6 months before the therapy started. In this way we avoided the impact of natural recovery. Children participated in the therapy for approximately one year. After that they were re-tested with Stuttering Severity Instrument – 3 (Riley, 1994).
The results, according to the predictors showed that there are some differences in intensity of stuttering after the therapy; however, they are not statistically significant. The correlation between the predictors and intensity of stuttering after the therapy did not appear to be statistically significant. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Cilj raziskovalnega dela je bil preveriti uspešnost direktne terapije Centra za sluh in govor Maribor za predšolske otroke, ki jecljajo, glede na prediktroje tipi nefluentnosti, spol in temperament.
Vzorec je zajemal 34 predšolskih otrok, pri katerih se je jecljanje pojavilo med 2. in 4. letom in je pred začetkom terapije trajalo že vsaj 6 mesecev. S tem smo se izognili vplivu spontanega izzvenevanja. Otroci so bili v terapijo vključeni približno eno leto. Nato so bili retestirani s Stuttering Svereity Instrument – 3 (Riley, 1994).
Rezultati so pokazali, da obstajajo razlike v uspešnosti terapije glede na opazovane prediktorje, ki pa niso statistično značilne. Povezanost med prediktorji in uspešnostjo terapije se ni izkazala za statistično pomembno. |
