A Culturally Responsive Narrative Retell Approach for Stuttering in the RSK Region

Abstract

The present study investigates a tailored narrative retelling approach adapted for individuals experiencing stuttering in the RSK region, with a particular emphasis on addressing cultural responsiveness at the level of assessment tools. Initial findings emphasize the need for assessment tools that are both culturally and linguistically attuned. Positive participant reactions to culturally responsive interventions highlight their effectiveness. Proficient responses affirm the positive impact of cultural and linguistic adaptation, while participants are categorized as Emerging and Minimal points to specific areas requiring intervention. The retelling task and thematic analysis of interview questions offer a comprehensive framework, revealing the demand for more refined assessment tools. This research provides valuable insights for developing inclusive interventions in diverse cultural contexts, laying a foundation for future research and advancements in the RSK region.
