The specific strategy they select will depend on when the client catches the disfluencyin anticipation of the moment of disfluency, in the moment, or following the moment (Van Riper, 1973). All approaches should include a plan for generalization and maintenance of skills involved in activities of daily living. 6989). https://doi.org/10.1017/S135246580001643X. (2011). (2014). Perspectives on Fluency and Fluency Disorders, 4(6), 13161326. For example, when selecting reading passages, it may be difficult to determine the linguistic complexity of a text in a language unfamiliar to the clinician. Genetic contributions to stuttering: The current evidence. One study showed that children who clutter had 7.6 times more normal disfluencies compared to "atypical" disfluencies when they retold a story (van Zaalen et al., 2009). https://doi.org/10.1044/2019_JSLHR-S-18-0318, Lucey, J., Evans, D., & Maxfield, N.

Disclosing a fluency disorder may be done a number of ways, such as verbally stating I stutter/have a speech disorder or by pseudostuttering or openly stuttering, while doing so confidently (McGill et al., 2018). (2011). Psychology Press. Assessment and treatment of stuttering in bilingual speakers. It is important that parents and clinicians acknowledge and respond to a childs verbal and nonverbal reactions in a supportive manner; this helps to minimize the likelihood that the child will develop negative reactions to stuttering. Speech modification (including fluency shaping) strategies (Bothe, 2002; Guitar, 1982, 2019) include a variety of techniques aimed at making changes to the timing and tension of speech production or altering the timing of pauses between syllables and words. Motivational interviewing is a person-centered approach that can be useful in developing functional goals and enhancing readiness for change (Miller & Rollnick, 2013; Rollnick & Miller, 1995).

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 also applies to individuals with disabilities in a work setting. The SLP works with parents and families to create an environment that facilitates fluency and that helps them develop healthy and appropriate communication attitudes (Onslow et al., 2003; Yaruss & Reardon-Reeves, 2017). Individuals typically arent diagnosed or do not start treatment until 8 years of age or into adolescence/adulthood (Ward & Scaler Scott, 2011). Consider the individuals age, preferences, and needs within the context of family and community when selecting and adapting treatment approaches and materials. For a discussion of a process for selecting evidence-based approaches based on individual needs, see Yaruss and Pelczarski (2007). This results in less effective social interactions.

Individuals may experience stuttering in different ways with siblings, their spouse, or other family members. These individuals are said to experience covert stuttering (B. Murphy et al., 2007). Scaler Scott, K. (2010). SLPs may want to relate personal experiences when asking clients to share such vulnerable information. Cumulative incidence estimates of stuttering in children range from 5% to 8% (Mnsson, 2000; Yairi & Ambrose, 2013). The ability to use speech strategies; to make choices to speak and participate, regardless of the level of fluency; and to take risks is greatly reduced outside of the treatment setting when time pressure and conditioned negative feelings may trigger fear and old behaviors. Explore how typical and atypical disfluencies differ, and find resources for guidance and support. Bilingual children who stutter typically do so in both languages (Nwokah, 1988; Van Borsel et al., 2001). For example, individuals who clutter may not be aware of communication breakdowns and, therefore, do not attempt to repair them. ), The atypical stutterer: Principles and practices of rehabilitation (pp. Douglass, J.

Other treatment approaches described below also may be incorporated as part of a comprehensive treatment approach. Treatment is sensitive to cultural and linguistic factors and addresses goals within WHOs ICF framework (ASHA, 2016a; Coleman & Yaruss, 2014; WHO, 2001; Yaruss, 2007; Yaruss & Quesal, 2004, 2006).

The Stuttering Foundation We provide free online resources, services and support to those who stutter and their families, as well as support for research into the causes of stuttering. The underlying relationship between stuttering and working memory is not fully understood but may be related to interruptions in sensorimotor timing for developmental stuttering and may involve both the basal ganglia and the prefrontal cortex (Bowers et al., 2018).

Perspectives on Fluency and Fluency Disorders, 23(2), 5469. Enhancing treatment for school-age children who stutter: I. Egan, G. (2013). One of the most widely used models of change is the transtheoretical or stages of change model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 2005). This may progress to the client analyzing the clinicians or their own pseudostuttering, to analyzing a video of their own stuttering to real-time analysis (Bray & Kehle, 2001; Bray et al., 2003; Cream et al., 2010; Harasym et al., 2015; Prins & Ingham, 2009). 9099). Treatment may include strategies to reduce negative reactions to stuttering in the individual and others (Yaruss et al., 2012). These may include stuttering modification (described above) in addition to awareness, desensitization, cognitive restructuring, self-disclosure, and support. Enlisting the help of a person familiar with the language and rating fluency in short speech intervals also may help to accurately and reliably judge unambiguous stuttering (Shenker, 2011). Fluency treatment is a dynamic process; service delivery may change over time as the individuals needs change. Each party is equally important in the relationship, and each party respects the knowledge, skills, and experiences that the others bring to the process.

Motivational interviewing may be used to help individuals who stutter better understand the thoughts and feelings associated with their stuttering and make positive changes to improve communication.

However, even when children show little observable disfluency, they may still need treatment because of the negative impact of stuttering or cluttering on their lives. As is the case with any communication disorder, language differences and family/individual values and preferences are taken into consideration during assessment. Chronic problems associated with illness, injury, or other traumatic events can have a negative impact on an individuals emotional health and quality of life (e.g., Bonanno & Mancini, 2008). People with fluency disorders also frequently experience psychological, emotional, social, and functional impacts as a result of their communication disorder (Tichenor & Yaruss, 2019a). Breakdowns in fluency and clarity can result from. Some examples of disfluencies that are more typical of a person who clutters is excessive whole word repetitions, unfinished words and interjections (such as um and well). Experts in the field of cluttering have consistently estimated that approximately one third of children and adults who stutter also present with at least some components of cluttering (Daly, 1986; Preus, 1981; Ward, 2006).

Operant treatment (e.g., Palin ParentChild Interaction Therapy, Kelman & Nicholas, 2020; Lidcombe Program, Onslow et al., 2003) incorporates principles of operant conditioning and uses a response contingency to reinforce the child for fluent speech and redirect disfluent speech (the child is periodically asked for correction).

Stuttering and cluttering: Frameworks for understanding and treatment. One study showed that children who clutter had 7.6 times more normal disfluencies compared to "atypical" disfluencies when they retold a story (van Zaalen et al., 2009). Typical childhood disfluencies may increase and decrease without any external influence. (1979). Traditional stuttering modification strategies (Manning & DiLollo, 2018) include the following: These strategies require an individual to identify a moment of disfluency before, during, or after it occurs and to make adjustments to reduce tension and struggle.
