The study plans to find the efficacy of a digital application/software, Al-lisan that adult stutters can be used for assessment and management of their stuttering. The Software has been developed with the help of a software engineer. After the current trends employed by Speech language pathologists explored through qualitative study design, the manual which is under development process through a focused group in which assessment and treatment options of the software were finalized. The next step will include the reliability and validity of the software for assessment and management of adult stutters followed by finding the efficacy of the software. As this Application will be in Urdu language it will assist less literate and those living in peripheries to assess or provide self-treatment options to the persons who stutter. It will allow adults for self-assessment and treatment options in Urdu language.
The term stuttering refers to the dis-fluent pattern of speech. In adult stuttering it's a learned pattern of dis-fluent production that may become the part of their speech permanently. It affects 1% of the worldwide population. There are many therapeutic techniques to treat the stuttering in adults. Self-help therapy is common to use. Besides the personalized treatment of self-help therapy by adult stutters, there are many digital applications available and used by many adult stutters worldwide. Few are StammerApp, Stamurai and SMAAT. The objective of the study is to develop a digital application/software that adult stutters can be used for assessment and management of their stuttering. This study being a part of PhD project, started in March 2020 and until now, the current trends employed by Speech language pathologists have been explored through qualitative study design. The manual was developed through a focused group in which assessment and treatment options of the software were finalized. The Software has been developed with the help of a software engineer. The objective of this study is to find the effects of Al-lisan Urdu Digital Software for Self-Assessment and Treatment of Adult Stutters. For this step we are applying for the grant.
