Abstract

Abstract Our purpose was to examine the basic level of auditory processing skills in school-age children who stutter. We administered three auditory processing tasks—dichotic digits, temporal patterning, and auditory discrimination—from the Differential Screening Test for Processing (Richard & Ferre, 2006). Five 6- to 9-year-old boys who stutter were age-matched to five boys who do not stutter. Children who stutter showed significantly poorer performance on the auditory discrimination subtest. These preliminary results suggest that, for a subgroup of children who stutter, auditory discrimination difficulties may exacerbate stuttering and thus be a factor worth considering in clinical intervention.
