Effective communication is an essential of everyday life, and stuttering impairs this function. Stuttering has been shown to cause social maladjustment and to hinder attainment of occupational potential. There is an effective treatment available for preschool children who stutter, and this treatment can prevent the problems of stuttering later in life. The treatment depends on regular, weekly, face-to-face sessions with a speech pathologist. However, thirty percent of Australian children live rurally, and are receiving inadequate access to this important health service. This research is a randomised controlled trial of a telehealth intervention for early stuttering. The telehealth intervention is a new procedure where the speech pathologist uses the telephone and other communication methods to deliver the treatment to isolated families with a stuttering child.

有效的沟通是日常生活中必不可少的，而口吃会损害这一功能。口吃已被证明会导致社会适应不良，并阻碍职业潜力的实现。有一种有效的治疗方法可用于学龄前口吃的儿童，这种治疗方法可以防止以后的口吃问题。治疗依赖于定期，每周，面对面的会议与语言病理学家。然而，30%的澳大利亚儿童生活在农村，无法充分获得这一重要的卫生服务。这项研究是一项针对早期口吃的远程健康干预的随机对照试验。远程保健干预是一种新的程序，语言病理学家使用电话和其他通信方法向有口吃儿童的孤立家庭提供治疗。
