Abstract

Artículo. Se discuten las prácticas comunes para avalúo de fluidez de lectura oral y las posibles consecuencias educativas negativas en niños con tartamudez

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s (ASHA) Ad Hoc Committee on Reading Fluency for School-Age Children who Stutter surveyed ASHA members working with children who stutter to determine common practice for assessing oral reading fluency. Qualitative results revealed a non-standardized process of assessment procedures and interpretations that may have negative educational consequences for children who stutter.
