Gerwin, Katelyn L.; Walsh, Bridget; Christ, Sharon L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: In our earlier study, we found that overall accuracy on nonword repetition (NWR) lacked the specificity to differentiate among groups of children who stutter (CWS) with and without concomitant speech sound and/or language disorders and children who do not stutter (CWNS). The aim of this study was to determine whether NWR error…

Gerwin, Katelyn L.; Walsh, Bridget; Tichenor, Seth E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine how nonword repetition (NWR) performance may be impacted by the presence of concomitant speech and language disorders in young children who stutter (CWS). Method: One hundred forty-one children (88 CWS and 53 children who do not stutter [CWNS]) participated. CWS were divided into groups based on the…

Walsh, Bridget; Usler, Evan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare physiological indices of sympathetic nervous system arousal recorded during fluent and stuttered utterances in a preschool children who stutter (CWS). Method: Twenty-two 4- to 5-year-old CWS participated in the experiment. We recorded children's skin conductance response amplitude and frequency,…

Usler, Evan R.; Walsh, Bridget – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Early childhood stuttering is associated with atypical speech motor development. Compared with children who do not stutter (CWNS), the speech motor systems of school-age children who stutter (CWS) may also be particularly susceptible to breakdown under increased processing demands. The effects of increased syntactic complexity and…

Walsh, Bridget; Bostian, Anna; Tichenor, Seth E.; Brown, Barbara; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to document disfluency behaviors expressed by 4- and 5-year-old children who stutter and to identify whether stuttering characteristics at this age are predictive of later stuttering recovery or persistence. Method: We analyzed spontaneous speech samples from 47 children diagnosed with developmental stuttering…

Walsh, Bridget; Christ, Sharon; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how epidemiological and clinical factors collectively predict whether a preschooler who is stuttering will persist or recover and to provide guidance on how clinicians can use these factors to evaluate a child's risk for stuttering persistence. Method: We collected epidemiological and clinical…
