Abstract
The fluency patterns of 32 institutionalized, mentally retarded adults previously labeled as “stutterers” were compared to the patterns of 10 severely retarded adults not diagnosed as “stutterers,” and to the descriptions of normally disfluent children and normally intelligent adult stutterers. Results indicated that retarded subjects of both groups were more comparable to each other than to developmentally disfluent children or stuttering adults of normal intelligence. There was a nonsignificant correlation between frequency and severity of disfluency. Therapeutic implications are discussed.
