Abstract

This study compared the rate of dysfluency found among lower social status black, lower social status white, middle social status black, and middle social status white preschool children. Spontaneous language samples were analyzed using a six category dysfluency classification system. Multivariate analyses revealed that dysfluency does not vary as a function of race, social status background, or sex. In addition, the relative contribution of specific types of dysfluency to total dysfluency is virtually identical in each socio-cultural group.
