In this SIG 4 activity, authors detail the myriad of ways that stuttering can influence aspects of life, from parents’ differing perceptions of their child who stutters (Mostafa, St. Louis, El-Adaway, Emam, & Elbarody), to completion of turns by people who do not stutter when the person who stutters experiences stuttering (Kondrashov & Tetnowski). These articles help readers understand the pervasive nature that stuttering exerts on the lives of people who stutter across the lifespan.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• describe ways in which mothers and fathers differ in their perceptions of their children who stutter
• discuss the attitude of people who stutter toward having people who do not stutter complete their utterances when they experience a moment of stuttering

Assessment Type
Self-assessment—Think about what you learned and report on the Completion Form how you will use your new knowledge.
