Popis: The article presents the results of a pilot study using the Polish version of the Stuttering Perception Scale. The phenomenon of stigmatisation which is present in stuttering has a negative impact on the quality of life of those who stutter. The purpose of the study outlined below was to identify the opinions of those whoare known as 'double experts' on the phenomenon of stigmatisation and self-stigmatisation in stuttering, as well as on the correctness of the Polish adaptation ofthe scale and its potential applicability in the therapy of adults suffering from stuttering. This qualitative study involved 7 participants: speech therapists, psychologists, and/or leaders of the self-help movement for people who stutter, who have personal experience of stuttering. The research problem took the form of the question: How do respondents assess the reliability of the translation of the scale and its usefulness in the process of Speech Therapy intervention? The article cites selected opinions of the respondents and indicates the practical implications of the study.
