During the parent interview what information can help us to predict if the stuttering is likely to persist?
Definition
family history of stuttering (either persistent or recovered), time since onset (how long has the child stuttered?), how has the stuttering changed since the onset, in quantity and quality?, child's sex helps predict recovery and length of recovery course (5:1 ratio of adult males: females, boys are more likely to persist, boys recover within three years, girls recover within 1 year), child's reaction to his/her stuttering according to parent report (and later kiddy-cat communication attitude test)
