Clinical Trial Summary

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.
