Brief Summary

In the light of previous attempts to design and develop automated and objective measures for automatic speech recognition system that detects disfluent speech and assess its severity, yet fully automated measurement of stuttered speech is not available. This study was triggered by the need to design and develop a simple and reliable computerized tool for identification of stuttering and measurement for its severity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a user interface that can work on windows system for the adopted stuttering recognition model which can be used in clinical practice by physicians and therapists.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of stuttering severity:

  using both subjective method as The Arabic version of Stuttering Severity Instrument-3 (ASSI3) for children and adults and objective method asAutomatic detection and severity assessment of stuttering

  baseline

Study Arms (2)

Study Group:

Study Group: This will be consisted of sixty (60) stuttering patients. They will be divided into 2 subgroups; children group 30 patients with age ranges from (10-18y) and adult group 30 patients with age ranges from (19-30y)

Diagnostic Test: The Arabic version of Stuttering Severity Instrument-3 (ASSI3) for children and adults

Control Group

Control Group: This will be consisted of sixty (60) subjects who have normal fluency. They will be selected from the relative of the patients attending to the outpatient clinic and will be matched for age, sex and socioeconomic state with the patients group.

Interventions

The Arabic version of Stuttering Severity Instrument-3 (ASSI3) for children and adults DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Assessment of stuttering severity: The Arabic version of Stuttering Severity Instrument-3 (ASSI3) for children and adults will be applied for assessment of severity of stuttering. (3). Automatic detection and severity assessment of stuttering using MATLAB version 8.1.0.604 R2013a (7). Stuttering detection system has three main steps which are acoustic processing, feature extraction and classification/recognition

Also known as: A. Acoustic voice analysis, B. Spectral analysis:, Automatic detection and severity assessment of stuttering

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 10 Years - 30 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study will be included one hundred twenty (120) subjects; age ranges (10-30 years). They will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Phoniatric Unit, Assiut University Hospital. The study is supposed to be conducted in one up to 2 years. They will be divided into two groups: 1. Study Group: This will be consisted of sixty (60) stuttering patients. They will be divided into 2 subgroups; children group 30 patients with age ranges from (10-18y) and adult group 30 patients with age ranges from (19-30y) 2. Control Group: This will be consisted of sixty (60) subjects who have normal fluency. They will be selected from the relative of the patients attending to the outpatient clinic and will be matched for age, sex and socioeconomic state with the patients group.

You may qualify if:

• Age: from 10 to 30 years old.
• Gender: both sexes will be included in the study.
• The participants in the study group suffering from developmental stuttering (stuttering symptoms was of early childhood onset, intermittent course and dated since early childhood) seeking speech therapy
• Have language aptitudes coping with his or her chronological age.

You may not qualify if:

• \. Presence of any other speech or language disorders. 2. Mental Retardation. 3. Poor scholastic performances. 4. Presence of any psychiatric or neurologic disorders.
