The effect of tele-speech therapy on treatment of stuttering

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tele-speech therapy on the recovery of patients with a stutter. Methods: This research was an interventional study conducted on the patients visiting two rehabilitation centres. In this study, patients with a stutter participated in the tele-speech therapy sessions via Skype. Stuttering Severity Instrument-Fourth Edition was used to determine the severity of stutter before and after the intervention. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the mean scores of stuttering severity before and after tele-speech therapy (p = 0.001). Our findings showed a mean reduction of 13.8 in stuttering scores. More than half of the patients (56.6) reported a �high� and �very high� satisfaction with this treatment method. Conclusions: Tele-speech therapy is an effective way for the treatment of stuttering patients irrespective of their age, gender, and educational background. This method can improve patient�s speech and reduce stuttering. Implications for Rehabilitation Tele-rehabilitation is an effective way to treat stuttering. Tele-speech therapy can be implemented for any group of stuttering patients. Participants were satisfied with the tele-rehabilitation intervention. Tele-speech therapy accelerates the treatment process. Tele-speech therapy eliminates patient travels to speech therapies. © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group
