Recounting the K-12 School Experiences of Adults Who Stutter: A Qualitative Analysis
Daniels, Derek E.; Gabel, Rodney M.; Hughes, Stephanie
Journal of Fluency Disorders, v37 n2 p71-82 Jun 2012
This study qualitatively explored the primary and secondary (K-12) school experiences of adults who stutter. The primary investigator conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 participants, a first focus group interview with 6 participants, and a second focus group interview with 4 participants. Participants discussed the various ways in which stuttering affected their personality; emotional and psychological experiences in the context of school; academic and learning experiences; classroom participation; teacher and peer relationships; speech therapy experiences; school activity involvement; and post-educational experiences. Results suggest that school is a complex cultural environment in which students must engage on academic and social levels. People who stutter may experience observable and unobservable challenges as they navigate the complexity of school. (Contains 3 tables.)
