Abstract
This investigation was designed to survey a sample of 650 speech-language pathologists providing services in elementary schools and to obtain information on the concomitant problems of stutterers in their caseloads. The results of the survey revealed that 32% of all the young stutterers were free of any other problems. The remaining 68% were reported as having some other type of problem (articulation, language, voice, emotional disturbance, neurological handicap, etc.) in addition to their stutterering. Results also present the type of therapy received by each subgroup. Limitations of the survey method and clinical and research implications are discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
