Q

what helps clients who clutter?

A

reducing speech rate and increasing awareness

17

foundation of fluency and voice

18
Q

3 parts of speech iceberg

A

behavioural component (we cannot see this)

affective component (emotions)
cognitive component
19
Q

describe stuttering in terms of what?

A

frequency (#disfluencies/total words) and duration

20
Q

accessory/secondary disfluencies

A

interjections

revisions

phrase and word reps

21
Q

core disfluencies

A

sound, syllable reps

blocks

broken words

prolongations

22
Q

assessment: when?

A

situational variability

cyclical!

23
Q

assessment: where

A

where in word (diff diagnosis)

developmental stuttering: initial ONLY

SAAND (neuro): all word positions

24
Q

disfluency rate that exceeds _____ of spoken words when all kinds of disfluencies counted

25
assessment: what
types, sounds, severity, core, concomitant behaviours, %
26
fluency shaping therapy addresses what part of iceberg? deals with what?
tip: behavioural component deals with: reducing stuttering itself
27
stuttering modification therapy measures what? what are the 2 goals?
measures tension/anxiety, NOT stutters/disfluencies themselves. Need to address emotional aspects of stuttering to decrease stuttering (2 goals: reduce shame/anxiety, teach disfluencies)
28
stutter modification addresses what part of iceberg?
2 parts of the bottom of the iceberg (including emotions)
28
5 techniques in stutter modification
cancellation: finish sentence pull-out: stop and start again bounce preparatory set: set articulators before speaking slow rate: by drawing out vowels
28
4 techniques in fluency shaping therapy
soft contact: on consonants continuous phonation: like singing short phrases slow rate: on vowels
28
both therapies want client to be able to do what, in end?
be independent, self monitoring, and able to self correct
29
parent education re: stuttering is...
cyclical variable they did not cause stuttering it's ok to talk about speech, no need to ignore it increase situations that promote fluency and decrease situations that inhibit fluency
30
SAAND: stands for... associated with?
stuttering associated with acquired neurological disorders CVA
31
developmental vs SAAND differences
developmental: stutter more on nouns, SAAND: grammatical words (and, the) developmental: stutter initial position only: SAAND: all positions developmental: adaptation effect: able to repeat and stutter less, not present on SAAND client (still disfluent) developmental: automised tasks are more fluent, SAAND: automatics not more fluent SAAND: concomitant features are rare
32
developmental vs SAAND similarities
both know what they want to say SAAND can include prolongation or block if word finding/lang issues: more going on with both of them
