During normal development of speech, children sometimes suffer from normal non-fluency or some extent of stutter. Since parents don’t have any information about sufficient relation patterns, therapists try to educate these patterns to parents. But often complete recovery is not achieved. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of training method of sufficient interaction patterns. This study is an applicable case-control study which has been done in private speech therapy clinics of Mashhad and Neyshabour. The study has been done on 8 men and 10 woman who have a child with borderline stuttering. To teach the skills, the experiment group has been taught by multimedia training and face to face counseling has been used for the control group. Data analyzing of this study has been done by independent T-test and paired T-test in SPSS software. The study results show that both multimedia and face to face training make significant improvement in parents’ knowledge about sufficient interaction patterns (P-value≤0.05). To compare the control and experiment groups ‘results, statistical examinations didn’t show significant difference between them (P-value≥0.05) while the mean of knowledge improvement in experiment group (m=8.80) was higher than control one (m=5.88). Although the face to face training has enough effectiveness on parents’ knowledge in the period of two weeks, it is more likely to observe better results of the multimedia training if the treatment program of borderline stuttering children is planned for a longer time interval.

in the past decade, the differences between the working memory span (WMS) of individuals with and without stuttering have gained attention. The Stroop test seems to be the least frequently used tool which is capable of simultaneously testing the memory, response inhibition and control of the stuttering in suffering individuals. This study is the first to investigate the response inhibition features, along with the features of stuttering intensity and WMS as well as the correlation using Stroop test between the mentioned factorsThis is a descriptive and analytical cross sectional study with a fundamental approach. The test group is comprised of youth ranging between 11-17 with stuttering (16 boys and 2 girls). To assess the subjects, SSI-3 test and WMS test, as well as Stroop test were used. The data obtained was recorded in the SPSS-16 statistical software.Pearson test was utilized to assess the correlation among the variablesThe highest average mark of features of stuttering intensity, WMS, reaction time and the number of correct responses in response inhibition belonged to the frequency of stuttering in speech level, audio-verbal memory span in sentences as well as reaction time to incongruent stimulus and the number of correct responses to congruent stimulus.Although, there is not a meaningful correlation in features of stuttering intensity with WMS, there is a significant correlation in Interference score with the frequency of stuttering in reading level as well as audio-verbal memory span in sentences and visual-verbal memory span with reaction time to congruent stimulus p<0.05.The results showed that in spite of non-significant correlations between a number of features, there are correlations between features of stuttering intensity, cognitive processing and WMS in teenagers suffering from stuttering
