EEG was analyzed in 64 stammering children attending the logopedic groups of general kindergartens. In 85% of the cases EEG was considered pathologic with baseline paroxysmal activity and epileptiform activity in functional testing. The comparison of these data with EEG recorded in age-matched healthy group (102 children) and in a group of 20 children with other central nervous system disorders leaving speech intact showed that a focus of polymorphic activity was recorded in the parietotemporal region in stammering children. This could be a major factor disordering the interhemispheric relations in the stammering etiopathogenesis.

Folia Phoniatr Logop
January 2025
Introduction: The study aims to investigate the relationship between pragmatic language skills of children who stutter (CWS) and the frequency of stuttering, with a focus on the development of these skills through peer interaction in the school years.

The purpose of this article is to present a theory of therapy for stuttering, its related assumptions, and findings from associated empirical studies. Specifically, we propose the Blank Center CARE™ Model of Treatment (CT) for stuttering, which differs from the current, widely employed fluency model of treatment (FT). The CT reflects the authors' belief in the need to move away from fluency-focused or seemingly ableist treatments (i.
