Cilj prispevka je s slovensko različico testa KiddyCAT© raziskati, kakšen je odnos do lastnega govora pri predšolskih otrocih, ki jecljajo, in ugotoviti ali obstajajo razlike v odnosu do lastnega govora med predšolskimi otroki, ki jecljajo, in njihovimi vrstniki, ki govorijo tekoče. Rezultati so bili pridobljeni na vzorcu 49 predšolskih otrok, ki jecljajo, in 74 predšolskih otrok, ki govorijo tekoče. Skupini sta bili razdeljeni na dve podskupini – na mlajše, stare od 3 do 4,4 leta in starejše, stare od 4,5 leta do 6 let. Rezultati so pokazali, da otroci, ki jecljajo, na testu KiddyCAT© dosežejo statistično pomembno (velikost učinka je velika) večje število točk kot njihovi vrstniki, ki govorijo tekoče. Prav tako je razlika med točkami mlajših in starejših otrok, ki jecljajo, vendar ni statistično pomembna. Negativen odnos do govora pri predšolskih otrocih, ki jecljajo, z leti narašča. Nasprotno pa pri otrocih, ki govorijo tekoče, negativen odnos do govora z leti upada, razlika pa ni statistično pomembna (velikost učinka je majhna). Spol na rezultate testa KiddyCAT© ni vplival. Test odnosa do lastnega govora za predšolske otroke – KiddyCAT© je uporaben za zgodnje ugotavljanje odnosa predšolskih otrok do lastnega govora in je instrument, ki pomaga pri odločanju o terapiji jecljanja.

• Title: KiddyCAT© - communication attitude test for preschool children who stutter

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the communication attitude of preschool children who stutter by using the KiddyCAT©, and to determine whether there are differences in communication attitude among preschool children who stutter, and their peers who are fluent speakers. Data are based on a normative sample of 49 preschool CWS and 74 preschool CWNS. The children were divided into two subgroups according to age – ‘’younger’’ 3 – 4.4 years old and ‘’older’’ 4.5 – 6 years old. Results showed that preschool CWS scored statistically significantly higher on KiddyCAT© than preschool CWNS (large effect size). There is the mean difference in scores between younger and older preschool CWS but it is not statistically significant (small effect size). Negative communication attitude in preschool CWS increases with age, whereas an opposite observation was made for preschool CWNS, the mean difference was not statistically significant. Gender did not affect the test results. The KiddyCAT© is a useful tool for the early detection of communication attitude of preschool children and helps in deciding on stuttering therapy.
