Activity Steps
Description
Note: ASHA CEUs cannot be reported to ASHA unless your ASHA member number is included in your profile.This program provides information about findings from research studies addressing linguistic influences on stuttering. This includes linguistic features and locations of fluency breakdown in children and adults who stutter. The program also reviews measurable differences in language skill between well-matched cohorts of children and adults who do and do not stutter. The risk that particular children face in predicting whether or not their stuttering is likely to be persistent or resolve spontaneously is discussed.
