![]() ![]() The surplus recordings may be useful for training clinicians about the characteristics of stuttering, and for various research applications. Another major reason was that some of the children were outside the 8-10 year age range. For example, some of the children who lived a long way from the capital only visited the London clinic once for a specialist consultation. All children who attended the clinics and met these criteria were recorded but not all of them were included in the longitudinal study, for a variety of reasons. The aim was to use this sample to see whether the children had persisted or recovered in stuttering at age 12 plus, and then to examine whether a range of measures obtained at 8-10 could have distinguished the persistent from the recovered children ( Davis, Shisca & Howell, 2007 Howell, 2007 Howell, Davis & Williams, 2006 Howell, Davis & Williams, in press). Children were eligible for inclusion if the diagnosis of stuttering was confirmed by a clinician who specialized in that disorder. The intention was to establish a sample of children aged 8-10 years who were followed up to at least age 12. The recordings are from children who were referred to clinics in London for assessment of stuttering. ![]() Speech recordings have been collected at University College London (UCL) for a number of years. Audio recordings of stuttered speech can be used for research and clinical purposes, but such recordings have not always been easy to obtain in sufficient numbers to fulfill these needs. ![]()
