Developmental Stuttering in Preschool Children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing: A Systematic Review
Although age of onset, prevalence, and incidence rates of developmental stuttering are relatively firmly established in the literature (Andrews & Harris, 1964; Craig et al., 2002; Manson, 2000; Yairi & Ambrose, 2013), the rate of developmental stuttering in children who are deaf and hard of hearing is understudied and research findings are conflicting. The current systematic review summarizes the literature and research findings for deaf and hard-of-hearing children who were also identified as exhibiting characteristics of developmental stuttering. A systematic review of research findings, trends, study limitations, as well as future directions and clinical implications are discussed.
- Summarize existing evidence on the onset and rates of developmental stuttering in preschool children who are deaf and hard of hearing
- Describe how preschool-aged children who are deaf and hard of hearing contribute to current theoretical models of stuttering
- Identify study limitations and needed research in preschool children who are deaf and hard of hearing and who stutter
