Abstract
Abstract We explore school-aged (6–14 years old) stuttering interventions for children who stutter (CWS) using a scoping review. Database searches were conducted (EBSCO host, PubMed, PsycINFO, Academic Search Premier, MEDLINE, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Health Source (consumer edition), Africa-wide Information, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Dissertation abstracts International, the Cochrane Library (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), 15 Cochrane Methodology Register, Education Resource Information Center, Google Scholar, manual searching using reference lists and gray literature) from the inception of the databases until June 2018. Ten school-aged stuttering intervention studies met the inclusion criteria of this study, which were conducted between 1982 and 2016. The 10 studies used quantitative pretest posttest designs with low to moderate quality, according to GRADE. ICF showed a dominance of interventions targeted and measured within the domain of body structures and function with treatment effects focused predominantly on traditional individualized speech fluency measures. Studies were conducted in Australia (n = 3), United States of America (n = 3), Canada (n = 2), Islamic Republic of Iran (n = 1) and South Africa (n = 1). The findings lead to the authors questioning knowledge production and its influence on evidence-based literature and practices.
期刊介绍:
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
