Abstract Stuttering is a childhood-onset fluency disorder, also known as stuttering or stammering is a multifactorial speech disorder defined by frequent prolongations, repetitions, or blocks of spoken sounds, syllables, phrases or words. It is one of the most common developmental disorders and affects approximately one to two per cent of the population at a given time . The aim of this work is to highlight primary school teacher`s knowledge and attitude towards their stuttering students, in order to modify their negative attitude and emphasize their role in management of stuttering. For this point of view our study used a questionnaire to explore the knowledge, attitudes and reactions of 100 Egyptian public school teachers to students who stutter. The results showed that while some of the teachers demonstrated positive perceptions of certain aspects of stuttering, inadequate knowledge about the disorder and how to deal with still remains. |
