The aim of this study was to correlate the stuttering severity index with speaking rates of mothers and children.

There were 29 boys and six girls, of mean age 8.5 years (range: 5.1-12.0). Speech samples from the mother-child pairs were audiotaped for approximately 15 minutes, until a reciprocal verbal interaction had been obtained.
