| Abstract | Background: Boey et al. (2009) reported seven questions for measuring children's awareness of stuttering and showed that even very young children were often aware of their stuttering. There have been ...no replications studies using Boey et al.’s parent-reported questionnaire. The aim of study was to test whether using Boey et al.’s seven question items developed in another country will be effective for measuring the awareness of stuttering in Japanese children. Methods: Participants were 54 children who stutter (CWS) aged 3–7 years. Each parent answered seven questions about awareness according to the questions in Boey et al. (2009). Results: Children's responses citing at least one awareness incident were 76%. The percentage of stuttering children with awareness of their own speech difficulties, according to chronological age, were as follows: 70% at age 3 years, 67% at age 4 years, 75% at age 5 years, 81% at age 6 years, and 90% at age 7 years. Conclusions: We found that even at age 3 years, many CWS were already aware of their stuttering. The similarity of the data with the seminal study by Boey et al. suggests that the question-based assessment is reproducible even in a different country with a different spoken language. The seven questions in Boey et al. are useful for evaluating whether children’s awareness of stuttering could contribute to a clinical decision as well as stuttering severity.show more |
