Embedding public and patient involvement in childhood stuttering research: lessons learned from engaging children and families in Saudi Arabia
This commentary presents one of the first documented examples of child-inclusive PPI in the Saudi context, highlighting the value of cross-generational collaboration and culturally responsive methods in enhancing research relevance and accessibility. We advocate for greater awareness, infrastructure, and policy support to embed meaningful PPI across the region, with particular attention to the cultural and linguistic dimensions of PPI.
