Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify systematically, appraise and synthesize evidence on interventions to assess stuttering in Saudi adults who stutter with WASSP and to determine how applicable to identify patients of potential obstacles to successful outcomes following intervention. Methods: In this study, 5 Saudi male adults who stutter were recruited. The pre-phase and post-phase well prepared questionnaire was given to fill with sign consent form. Results: The 5 subjects were frequently more comfortable in post-phase than the pre-phase. In pre-phase, the subjects were severely affected with different forms of stutters like frequency, uncontrollable and urgency. Conclusion: The results of this study conclude the identifying the importance of stuttering and the opinion on WASSP and assessment in Saudi adults who stutter.

Highlights

  • Stuttering is defined as fluency disorder characterized with involuntary disrupting the flow of speech, hindering the production of continuous, smooth and effortless speech

  • WASSP is elongated as Wright & Ayre stuttering self-Rating profile, defined as the recordings of a person how stutters their stutter in the initial and final block of the speech and language therapy and makes it possible for any perceived changes to be noted and future management to be planned according to the light of these measures

Summary

Introduction

Stuttering is defined as fluency disorder characterized with involuntary disrupting the flow of speech, hindering the production of continuous, smooth and effortless speech. The definition could be defined as dysfluency of speech that may be characterized by repetition of the initial sound of words, repetition of whole words, ‘getting stuck’. WASSP is elongated as Wright & Ayre stuttering self-Rating profile, defined as the recordings of a person how stutters their stutter in the initial and final block of the speech and language therapy and makes it possible for any perceived changes to be noted and future management to be planned according to the light of these measures. WASSP was originally designed and standardized as an outcome measure to be used with adults who stutter in the UK. It reflects the increasingly influential World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework.
