Abstract
A questionnaire asking respondents to list adjectives describing four hypothetical stutterers (a typical 8-year-old female, 8-year-old male, adult female, and adult male stutterer) was completed by 103 elementary and secondary teachers. The majority of reported adjectives were negative stereotypical personality traits, indicating perceptions of stutterers similar toother groups, including speech-language pathologists. Implications of these findings and suggestions for pre-service and continuing education programs for teachers are discussed.Keywords
