The purpose of this study was to examine societal knowledge of stuttering, access to information sources, and the influence of information sources on knowledge of stuttering. 185 participants from Northwest Ohio were surveyed. Results of the study indicated that the general public varies in their knowledge of stuttering and that majority of participants had not accessed information about stuttering, and the few who had, did so a long time ago. Finally, access to information sources had little influence on knowledge of stuttering. Implications for future research are discussed.

Introduction: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a combined Fluency Rules Program (FRP) with parent-child interaction training for preschool children with stuttering.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 49 preschool children who stuttered. Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group, which received the combined FRP with parent-child interaction training, or the control group, which received only the FRP.
Background And Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can play an integral role working with people who stutter (PWS) across the lifespan. There is a rich, yet relatively recent, history of research capturing specific aspects of the role, yet no paper has sought to combine the published literature relating to it. This review is intended to: (1) establish key themes related to SLPs' experiences, practices and attitudes of working with PWS; (2) determine how these may have changed over time; and (3) identify what gaps in the knowledge about this topic still exist.
