37
Q

in general, therapy approaches for PWS can be described by 3 characteristics

mechanism known as ________

rationalization

peep so.” This phenomenon is a

A

spoonerism.

49
Q

In selecting the fluency-shaping technique, clinicians should consider that it

Q

Fluency Treatment Techniques

A 
Psychological
fluent stuttering
fluency shaping
fluecy reinforcement
masking and delayed auditory feedback
direct reduction methods
51
Q

Fluency Treatment Techniques:

Methods that involve the assumption that stuttering is a psyhcological disorder and underlying conscious or unconcious psycological conflicts or that stuttering and psycological problems coexsist.

Treatment includes attempts to resolve those conflicts or problems.

A

Psychological

52
Q

Fluency Treatment Techniques:

Goal is not neccessarily norma fluecy, but more fluent (less abnormal) stuttering.

A

fluent stuttering (van-riper)

53
Q

Fluency Treatment Techniques:

Positively reinforces fluent spech in naturalistic conversational contexts.

A

fluecy reinforcement

54
Q

Fluency Treatment Techniques:

Goal is to establish normal fluency (not fluent stuttering) by teaching various skills of fluency e.g. appropriate management of airflow to produce and sustain fluent speech, slower rate of speech though syllable prolongation and gentle onset of phonation.

A

fluency shaping

55
Q

Fluency Treatment Techniques:

Seek to reduce stuttering directly, without teaching fluency skills or modifying stuttering behaviors. Utilizes pause-and-talk and response cost methods (behavioral methods)

direct reduction methods

56
