I actually think there is something that bears researching here. I would expect very atypical scores on affective/cognitive measures such as the OASES or BigCAT in people who stutter covertly, in the absence of overt disfluencies. We could arrive at a definition through a modest amount of research. When I did the Handbook revision a few years back, we only found 2 articles on this topic, both very old. I actually DO think that we need to do some research with this population to understand the phenomenon better and better aid people with this profile. best regards, Nan
