Title:	Measuring Role Entrapment of People Who Stutter by K-12 Grade School Teachers
Author:	Irani, Farzan A.
Description:	This study explored whether K-12 teachers report role entrapment of people who stutter (PWS) in the form of occupational stereotyping. The Vocational Advice Scale (VAS) (Gabel et al., 2004) was completed by 204 teachers. The teachers also completed an open-ended question and a demographic questionnaire to identify factors that influenced their choices on the VAS. The findings did not indicate the presence of role entrapment for most careers; however this group of teachers did perceive that 10 careers on the VAS were less advisable for PWS. Analysis of the responses to the open-ended question found three major themes that influenced their decisions, including: “Related to disorder,” “Supportive,” and “Related to career.” The findings also suggested that issues related to exposure to stuttering did not influence the participants’ judgments of which careers were more or less advisable for PWS.
