Abstract
⺠Stuttering has a holistic impact on family members including partners. ⺠A mixed methods research design explored the experiences of the people who stuttered and their fluent partners. ⺠Key aspects of the stuttering disorder were perceived similarly by adults who stutter and their partners. ⺠Partners share life experiences such as anxiety and reactions by others to stuttering. ⺠Findings lend support to involvement of partners in stuttering treatment.
