PURPOSE: There is little evidence regarding the impact of therapy with older school aged children who stutter. The aim of this qualitative study was to capture the voices of children and their parents regarding change following Palin Stammering Therapy for School-aged Children (Palin STSC(8-14)).
METHOD: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 children who stutter (aged 12;8-14;9 years) and 15 parents who attended Palin STSC(8-14) in individual weekly family sessions or intensive group therapy. Families were monitored for one year from therapy onset and interviews took place within eight months of the end of the monitoring period. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and coded, and themes extracted using Thematic Analysis (Attride-Stirling, 2001).
RESULTS: All participants reported positive change and 25 out of 26 participants said the impact of stuttering was reduced as a direct result of Palin STSC(8-14). Recurrent themes of change included: greater understanding about stuttering, increased confidence, increased child participation and more openness about and acceptance of stuttering. Group therapy participants reported the importance of community, while individual therapy participants reported increased family connection. All aspects of the broad Palin STSC(8-14) therapy programme were reported as valuable. Parents' involvement was viewed as a key contributor to meaningful change.
CONCLUSION: Overall, findings showed the perceived gains from this holistic therapy approach for both group and individual family therapy were wide. These findings add to emerging quantitative evidence supporting Palin STSC(8-14) as a beneficial therapy approach for older school aged children who stutter, with children and parents reporting broad and positive changes from the therapy.
