Cluttering significantly affects many aspects of life and communication, impacting emotional and educational outcomes.
Key evidence indicates that effective intervention requires addressing cluttering's broader impacts rather than just speech alone.
Assessment of current literature reveals a need for collaboration among speech language pathologists and educational professionals.
Findings suggest that fostering supportive educational and home environments may enhance outcomes for individuals with cluttering.
