Stuttering Screening Tool for Preschool Children in Kannada and Tamil

Supplementary material for a study that developed and validated a stuttering screening tool for parents and teachers of preschool children. The tool was created through literature review and focus groups, then translated into Kannada and Tamil. It achieved an internal consistency of 0.91 in its translated form and underwent pilot testing with parents.

Use Cases

• Validating screening tools for speech disorders based on the described content validation process.
• Assessing cross-cultural adaptation of clinical instruments based on the translation into Kannada and Tamil.
• Training parents and preschool teachers in early identification of stuttering based on the tool's intended use.

Strengths

• The translated tool achieved excellent validity with universal agreement from 11 judges.
• The final version demonstrated high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.91.
• The tool underwent pilot testing with parents of children who do and do not stutter, confirming understandability.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 52.4 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing only the tool document.
