final Flashcards
modern theory - multifactorial theories
demands and capacities, neuropsycholinguistic model, dynamic multifactorial model
what do all the modern theories have in common
genetic or other predisposition, predisposition interacts with environment, after pre-school years, stuttering tends to be lifelong condition
stuttering modification
teach the person to learn and understand their stuttering, and when they choose to, they can do something about their stuttering in the moment
stuttering modification basics
-fluent speech is generally not altered in any great degree
-primary goal is to modify the moment of stuttering
-attitudes, speech fears and avoidances are a major focus of therapy
-client must analyze and evaluate their stuttering behaviors
-baseline and treatment data are kept in quantative manner
-emphasis is on rapport, counseling, teaching, motivation
-self-monitoring skills are emphasized
fluency shaping
-the moment of stuttering is not modified
-attitudes, speech fears and avoidances are generally not dealt with in therapy
-clients do not analyze their stuttering behaviors
-baseline and treatment data are kept in a qualitative manner
-emphasis of therapy is on conditioning, reward, etc.
when to use stuttering modification
-client has difficulty modifying fluency
-client shows significant fear or avoidance
-client does not seek total fluency
-poor attitude or little knowledge of stuttering
when to use fluency shaping
-a client can easily modify their fluency
-client seeks high levels of fluency
-client exhibits no avoidance or fear
-the client does not have the cognitive ability to use stuttering modification program
keys to stuttering modification therapy
combination of: understanding, monitoring, desensitizing, accepting, modifying the moment of stuttering
traditional van riper therapy
motivation, identification, desensitization, variation, stabilization
motivation
identifying goals, talking to others who stutter, building the therapeutic relationship to develop trust
identification
stuttering 101: education and teaching the client about stuttering
desensitization
advertising, pseudostuttering
variation
freezing, cancellation, pull-out, preparatory set
stabilization
support groups, self-help
keys to fluency shaping therapy
-find out where fluency breaks down
-behavior modification to reinforce use of technqiue
-progress up a hierarchy of difficulty
-carryover can be difficult, so start planning for it immediately
fluency shaping
find a method that is incompatible of stuttering and use that strategy when talking all the time
fluency shaping treatment
-attitudes, speech fears and avoidances are generally not dealt with in therapy
-clients do not analyze their stuttering behaviors
-emphasis of therapy is on conditioning, reward, etc.
when to use fluency shaping
-when a client can easily modify their fluency
-when a client seeks high levels of fluency
-when the client has little or no fear of avoidance
-when the client does not have the cognitive ability to use a stuttering modification program
keys to fluency shaping
-find out where fluency breaks down
-assess the best method to eliminate stuttering
-behavior modification to reinforce this technique
=progress up a hierarchy of difficulty
-carryover can be difficult, so start planning for it immediately

when to use stuttering modification
-when a client has diffculty mdifiying fluency
-when a client show significant fear or avoidance
-when a client seeks total fluency
-poor attitude or little knowledge of stuttering (for older kinds and adults)
keys to stuttering modiication
-get the person to “stutter more easily”
-combo of: understanding, monitoring, desensitizing, accepting, modifying the moment of stuttering
stuttering modification treatment steps
motivation, identification, desensitization, variation, stablization
motivation
identfying goals, talking to others who stutter, building the therapuetic relationship to develop trust
identification
education, naming stuttering (and other behaviors) in others, naming stuttering (and other behaviors in others)
desensitization
advertising, pseudostuttering
variation
freezing, cancellation, pull-out, prepatory set
stabilization
support groups, self-help
things to keep in mind with stuttering modification
-must build the relationship, much of this is counseling in nature
-get the clients to accept stuttering, then give them a technique to improve when they choose to improve
-educate the client, let the assist in planning goals
what do we really want to know: children
does the child really stutter? is the child likely to persist or spontaneously recover? what is the best therapy for this person? what do the parents think? how does stuttering impact the child and family, etc.?
what do we really want to know: older children and teens
is this stuttering or something else? (child onset, psychogenic, neurogenic, other) how does this impact their life/quality of life? what do the parents/teachers thing? what is the best type of therapy for this person? what are their goals? how motivated are they to change?
what do we really want to know: adults
is this stuttering or something else? how does/has this impacted their life? what is the best type of therapy for this person or do they even seek therapy? and why now?
stuttering profile: speaking tasks
-single syllable words
-multisyllablic words
-phrases
-sentences
-connected speech (monologue w/ clinician and family)
-outside of clinic tasks (telephone of friend, telephone a stranger)
stuttering profile: qualitative analysis
-communicative ability
-ethnographic interview
-avoidance/secondary behaviors
-stuttering/disfluent events description
-stuttering variance
-speaking rate
stuttering profile: summary of results
-motor function
-language development
-articlation/phonology
-feelings/attitude scales
-self/assessment
writing goals
come up with general goals:
-motivation and identification
-desensitization
-modification/variation of speech
-modification/variation (with stuttering remaining)
-carryover and maintenance
lidcombe program
goal: eliminate stuttering, operant with lot of reinforcement
before treatment LP
clinical evaluation
-within clinic speech sample OR have parents play with them if shy
-at home sample (300 syllables)
-measure %SS at clinic and at home
case history
case selection criteria LP
begin therapy is persisted more than 6 months after onset
-does NOT begin when:
- stuttering onset less than 6 months past
- stuttering consists primarily of rhythmic, syllable repetitions
- child and parents are NOT frustrated by the stuttering
- no family history of stuttering
basic rules of LP
enjoy therapy, any negative reaction = stopping, parents apply with flexibility
