      ab: This study assessed schoolteachers' attitudes toward people who stutter (PWS) and also explored the effect of familiarity and educational factors on teachers' attitudes toward PWS. A 14-item semantic differential scale was used to measure teachers' attitudes towards PWS as compared to fluent speakers. The responses from 178 teachers were analyzed with regards to the teachers' level of experience with PWS and their previous coursework on stuttering. The results indicated that the teachers reported positive attitudes towards both PWS and fluent speakers. The scores on the semantic differential scale indicated that the PWS were judged more positively for three items. Educational and experiential factors were found to have no systematic effect on the teachers' attitudes toward PWS. Future research is needed to further investigate societal stereotypes and biases related to fluency disorders.
