Fluency and stuttering. The prevalence rate of stuttering in African American children (25 years of age) was estimated to be 2.52%, but was not reported to not be significantly different from that reported for European American children in the same age group between 2- to 5-year-old African American children and European American children (Proctor et al., 2008).

The lowest prevalence rates of stuttering were reported in adults aged 2150 years (0.78%) and adults aged 51 years or older (0.37%; Craig et al., 2002). As is the case with any communication disorder, language differences and family/individual values and preferences are taken into consideration during assessment. In D. Ward & K. Scaler Scott (Eds.

Clinicians also should attempt to better understand how the person experiences the moments before, during, and after stuttering.

Without proper intervention, children who exhibit signs of early stuttering are more at risk for continued stuttering.

Providing prevention information to individuals and groups known to be at risk for fluency disorders and to individuals working with those at risk. However, even when children show little observable disfluency, they may still need treatment because of the negative impact of stuttering or cluttering on their lives.

Differentiating between typical disfluencies and stuttering (i.e., ambiguous and unambiguous moments of stuttering) is a critical piece of assessment, particularly for preschool children (see ASHAs resource on characteristics of typical disfluency and stuttering). However, as they learn to reduce reactivity (see below), they develop greater comfort while speaking, they assume more positive attitudes about their ability to communicate, and they are better able to accept and manage moments of disfluency as they occur. https://scholarworks.bgsu.edu/comm_disorders_diss/7/.
