Here is some information about the Monster study- chuchas said we don’t need to know this for quiz or exam.
- Stuttering experiment performed on 21 orphaned children in 1939
- dr. wendell Johnson 1939
- Mary tudor, graduate assistant, conducted experiment
- tried to induce stuttering in healthy children and to see whether telling stutterers that their speech was fine would produce a change
- Told that they would be receiving speech therapy
- Half the children given positive speech therapy, telling them that their speech was good
- other half received negative speech therapy saying their speech was bad.
- some who weren’t stutterers were told that they must stop themselves from stuttering
- Negative therapy participants suffered psychological effects
- named the “monster study” by Johnson’s peers
- 6 of the orphaned students were awarded $925,000 by the state of Iowa in 2007
What are the 6 ASHA (1995) guidelines for Practice in stuttering treatment?
- Fluency Shaping Approach
- Vocal Control Treatment Approach
- Contingency Management
- Reduction of speech associated anxiety/excitement
- Training parents
- Prevention
In terms of ASHA guidelines, what do we tell parents when training them?
-speak more slowly, with normal intonation, timing, and stress
In terms of ASHA guidelines, what are some things done in the Vocal control treatment approach?
- better vocal tone
- breath support
- full resonance
- timing
- stress
IN addition to stuttering modification & fluency shaping programs, what are some other stuttering treatment approaches?
- Lidcombe Program (Preschoolers/school age)
- Family-Centered, Indirect Treatment Approach for Preschoolers
- Fluency Rules Program (preschool and early grade, grade-school children)
- Comprehensive Stuttering Program for School Age Children
- Comprehensive Stuttering Program for Adolescents and Adults
Who came up with the Lidcombe Program and when?
-Onslow, Packman, Harrison (2003)
What kind of program is the Lidcombe program and who was it targeted for?
-direct treatment Program initially for preschool children
What kind of approach is the Lidcombe program?
-direct operant conditioning approach
Where was the Lidcombe program developed?
Australia
What are the two components (stages) of the Lidcombe program?
- Stage 1: Eliminate or Reduce Child’s stuttering to a very low level (clinical visits regularly each week)
- Stage 2: Maintain the stuttering reduction for a long period (systematically increasing period of time between clinic visits)
What are the child actions that will elicit parent responses in the Lidcombe program?
- Stutter-free speech: parents acknowledge it, praises it
- unambiguous stuttering (clearly stuttering) parents acknowledge-ora ask child to self-correct the stuttered word
- Non essential parent responses:
- self evaluation of stutter free speech
- self correcting of stuttering
What are ways the parent encourages the child using verbal contingencies?
- Acknowledgement (“Those words were smooth”)
- Praise (“wow, good smooth talking”)
- Self-Evaluate (Was that smooth? or were there bumps there?”–then after, parents may acknowledge “that was a bump there” or…. –Request child to self-correct: (can you say ‘orange’ again?)
**Verbal contingencies are used intermittently to lessen invasiveness or overwhelm child
What is the therapy focus on in the Lidcombe program?
-focus is on child’s speech
What are the speech measures the clinician needs to do in the Lidcombe program?
- prescribe treatment goals
- assess child’s progress
- determine effectiveness so treatment can be adjusted
- determine when stuttering rate and severity are below program criteria @ near zero levels
- prescribe targets for stage 2
In terms of ASHA guidelines, what are some things done in the Fluency Shaping Approach?
- Slowed rate of Speech Movements
- Easy onset of voicing; slow inhalation; soft but true voice to full voice before vowel initiation; practice in order to shorten time to take up by onset of voicing period
- Blending or continuous voicing
- light articulatory contacts
- smooth, slow speech movements
What are the speech measures for the parent to do in the Lidcombe Program?
- Severity Ratings
* 10 point Scale Stuttering “2”, “2” is extremely severe stuttering
* each day must obtain SR for entire day or 10 min. period of time - Stutterers per minute of speaking time (SMST)
* optional measure
* to calculate, parents listen to child’s conversation, measures # of unambiguous stutters in that period
* SMST calculated by dividing # of stutters by duration of child’s speech
