25
techniques for treating the entire disorder
timing, tension, or both
26
timing
rate, pausing, phrasing paragraphs, pace
27
tension
light contact, pull outs, post blocks
28
timing and tension
easy onset/start
29
techniques for modifying stuttering
help children stutter more easy we need to modify tension while stuttering and reduce child's discomfort with stuttering
30
catching the stuttering
identify moments of stuttering as they occur
31
rationale for catching the stutter
*Increases awareness *Provides opportunity to modify stuttering *Develops self-monitoring skills *Encourages openness and acceptance *Begins process of desensitization
32
relaxing the stuttering
purposefully stutter on a word with 100% tension, observe the disfluency, then repeat word with decreased tension
33
rationale for relaxing the stutter
-Identify, analyze, and change stuttering -Students see they can stutter in an easier way -Reduces sensitivity -Increases feelings of control -Develops ability to work with stuttering
34
sliding out of the stuttering
Students catch themselves during a moment of stuttering and then gradually “slide out” of the stuttering by identifying and stabilizing the tension, slowing down their articulation, and stretching out transitions
35
rationale for sliding out of the stuttering
*Stabilizes and decreases tension *Increases speech control *Keeps speech moving forward
36
easy stuttering
-Intentionally produce relaxed, controlled repetitions of sounds, syllables, or words -Can be used before or during a moment of stuttering or at times when stuttering is not anticipated or occurring
37
rationale for easy stuttering
*Helps children learn they can change the way they stutter *Also reduces tendency to hide stuttering *Recues tension and counter conditions struggle behaviors
38
Cancellation
-Students pause for a couple of seconds after a moment of stuttering (to acknowledge / analyze disfluency) and then they say stuttered word again with less tension
39
Cancellation Rationale
-Increases feeling of control -Desensitizes concerns about stuttering -Reduces tension
40
what could be included in portfolio
-Reflective writing and drawings -Journal entries -Questionnaires -Checklists -Transcripts of conversations with the child -Documentation of behaviors observed by SLP, parent, teacher, and peers
41
example of goal for environment
-Child will demonstrate ability to *Educate his peers about stuttering *By giving 1 classroom presentation *During a report on ISA day *With support from teacher and clinician
42
example of goal for attitudes
-Child will demonstrate the ability to use pseudo-stuttering in a familiar situation when promoted by the clinician -Child will demonstrate the ability to minimize avoidance strategies during an oral reading task in the classroom
43
REBT stands for
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy
44
what is REBT
-Based on the idea that individuals can “think” themselves into being upset because of irrational belief systems -Get them to change belief system -Teach acceptance -> model acceptance
45
to decrease emotional reactions we need to find balance between
-Developing and/or maintaining positive attitudes associated with communication and self -Developing the ability to understand and use speech modifications techniques
46
what teachers need to know
-Knowledge -The FACTS -The goals and the therapy process -To know that you are willing to collaborate -Empowerment -Connection with resources -Ongoing contact with us/support from us -Acceptance
47
teachers need to reinforce
small victories (open stuttering, open discussion, non-avoidance)
48
Goals contain
-What the child is to do -How often -What task and setting the child will do it in -How much support will the child have
49
treatment types in adult stuttering
-stuttering modification (traditional) -fluency generating/shaping -group therapy
50
Traditional program wants to change _____________ of adults
belief system
51
how to change negative thinking in adults
-Show they have ability to be fluent (use devices) -Show even “normal” speakers can be disfluent
52
identification
*In normal speakers *In clinician’s pseudo-stuttering *In client’s recorded speech *In client’s conversation
53
Analysis
*What is happening when you stutter? (ex: tension) *Freeze in moment; magnify the situation; explain how they felt before, during, and after moment *Use descriptive language to discuss interfering behaviors *Gives client specific goals for change
54
desensitization
Reducing emotion or anxiety that may accompany stuttering
55
steps of modication
*Modify stuttering after you have done it (post-block) Pause, go back, repeat word Pay attention where tension was and plan for next time -Stuttering modified as it occurs (in-block, pull out) Reduce tension midstream and pull out -Modify stuttering before it happens (pre-block)
56
post-block
Ask client to pause after a stuttered word and say the word again with easy, more relaxed stuttering
57
In-block
Teach client to change stuttering in its mid-course; let client pull out by slowing down and using soft articulatory contacts
58
Pre-block
Teach preparatory sets by asking the client to use the techniques of modifying stuttering as he/she anticipates difficulty on a word
59
fluency generating/shaping is achieved by using
-Delayed auditory feedback -Metronome-paced speech -Prolonged/rate reduced speech -Masking noise -Shadow reading
60
Advantages of fluency shaping
-Client can see that they can be fluent -Goal is clear = fluency -Steps are clearly outlined, defined, and structured
61
Disadvantages of Fluency shaping
 Relapse is a big problem  No techniques taught in case of relapse  Speech may be unnatural  No direct work on emotions or feelings
