same as adult except on function words which are often at the beginning of phrases
children also have more whole word repetitions
19
Q
when is adaptation greatest
A
during first few oral readings
by 5th time the most reduction will have occurrred
there is no transfer from one passage to the next

measured in oral reading
occurrence of new stuttering on words surrounding stuttered words
22
Q
what is the audience size effect
A
frequency of stuttering increases with increase in audience size
stuttering may be absent when they talk to themselves
23

what is the genetic hypothesis of stuttering
A
genetic basis to stuttering
currently no genetic transmission theory is universally accepted
24
Q
what is the neurophysiological hypothesis of stuttering
A
differences in the neurophysiological organization
25
what is the laryngeal dysfunction hypothesis
stuttering aused by slightly delayed VOT
may be associated with increased tension in laryngeal muscles, simultaneous activation of abductors and adductors and excessive laryngeal muscle activity during stuttered speech
26
what is the brain dysfunction hypothesis

1. have client list sounds, words, situations and audiences he avoids
2. take note of words and sounds avoided during interview
3. family members list
4. behavior assessment battery
34
how is speech rate assessed
count number of words or syllables spoken per minute for 3 two minute samples
35
how are negative emotions assessed
1. have client describe her emotions about speech
2. ask family or friends
3. administer behavior assessment battery

2. frequency of part-word repetitions, speech-sound repetitions and broken words at least 2%
3. excessive duration. 1 second or longer
4. dysfluencies on at least 3% of syllables, prolongations, schwa vowel in syllable repetitions and associated tension
38
what is the fluent stuttering method
1. Van Ripers approach
| 2. stutter more fluently approach
39
what is included in the fluent stuttering method
1. desensitize: voluntary stuttering
| 2. modify through cancellations, pullouts, and preparatory sets
40
what is the fluency shaping method
1. goal is to establish normal fluency through management of airflow, slower rate through syllable prolongation and gentle onset of phonation
41
what are the targets for the fluency shaping method
1. airflow management: inhale and immediate slight exhale before phonation. Maintain airflow through utterance
2. easy onset
3. reduced rate through syllable prolongation. No breaks in phonation. The vowel following the initial consoant is prolonged
42
what is Camperdown
fluency shaping program that includes only prolonged speech at a reduced rate as a target.
2. clients practice with prolonged speech with a model video
3. rate gradually increased
43
what is the limitation of fluency shaping
generates slow, unnatural speech
| relapse common when rate increased
44
what is the fluency reinforcement method
positive reinforcement of fluent speech in naturalistic conversational contexts
2. used for young children
3. speech evoked with books, toys etc
4. positve reinforcement for fluent utterances
5. modeled slow, relaxed speaking rate
6. Lidcombe Program
45
what are direct stuttering reduction methods
reduce stuttering directly, without specific fluency or modifying skills
2. methods include time-out and response cost
46
what is pause-and-talk or time out
1. person taught to pause after each stutter and then resume talking
2. clinician says stop or gives another signal when dysfluency observed
3. avoids eye contact with client for 5 seconds
4. re-establishes eye contace and lets client continue
5. socially reinforces fluent speech (smiles etc)
6. preferred for older children and adults
47
what is the response cost method
clinician takes away a token which is awarded for every fluent production
2. progress from words and phrases to conversational speech
3. fade tokens when fluency is susained at 98% or better across 4 sessions then maintain with verbal praise alone
4. preferred for young children
48
what should be considered when treating preschool children
1. parent counseling and consultation
2. counseling about bullying
3. select effective reinforcers for the child
4. fluency reinforcement in naturalistic play often effective
5. child should enjoy therapy. Generously reinforce fluency, minimizing corrective feedback
49
what should be considered when treating older students and adolescents
1. teach self monitoring skills; child counts stutters
2. fluency shaping and time out are good choices
3. oral reading reinforces reading rate
4. teach child to talk frankly about their stuttering to reduce teasing
5. parent counseling and patient training important
6. train teachers to prompt and reinforce fluency, be patient, and support clinicians effort
50
what should be considered when treating adults
1. teach self monitoring skills
2. explain treatment and the evidence for it
3. fluency shaping and time out good choices
4. counsel spouse to reinforce fluency
51
how do you generalize the treatment
1. when a certain level is reached, have unfamiliar people come to the session for conversation
2. take client out of clinic into other settings to reinforce fluency
3. reinforce fluency in various settings
4. teach self monitoring skills
52
What is the etiology of neurogenic stuttering

. Coexisting aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, or dementia
| 2. Rule iut preexisting developmental stuttering
55
How do you trest neurogenic stuttering
Symptomatically by reducing rste, delayed auditory feedback, pacing board
56
What is cluttering
Fluency disorder that coexists with stuttering
2. Characterized by reduced intelligibility, rapid and irregular speech, imprecise artic, disorganized language, poor prosody and discourse
3. No obvious concern about problem
4. Rate variations
5 frequent pauses
6. Omission and compression of sounds
7 jerky or stumbling rhythm
8. Spoonerisms: interchanging sounds in a sentence ( many thinkle peep vs many people think
57
How do you treat cluttering
Reduce rate of speech
| Increase clients awareness of problem through video
58
what are Van Der Merwe's 5 origins of stuttering
1. frontoimbic: intent to speak
2. Linguistic-planning: choosing words
3. Motor Planning: establishing temporal and spacial specifications
4. motor programing: instructions to muscles
5. Execution
59
what is a preperatory set
prolongation that is used in expectation of upcoming difficult word
creates a change in segmental duration which is a change in motor planning
60
what are the Van Riper's 4 stages of stuttering modification
1. identification
2. desensitization
3. modification: cancellation, pullouts, preparatory set
4. stabilization: patient becomes own therapist
61
what is cancellation
after a stuttered word, pause and say it again before going on
62
what is Webster's theory on the Disorder of Brain Organization
1. PWS have normal localization of speech in left hemisphere but the supplementary motor area is vulnerable to disruption by activities in other areas
63
what is the covert repair hypothesis
stuttering is the repair of phonological errors
64
what are normal dysfluencies
revisions: where are....can I go with you
interjections: uh
repetitions of 2 extra units or less: he... he is my friend
65
what is borderline stutterine
```
more than 7 stuttered words per 100
part word repetitions and prolongations
frequent repetitions of more than one extra sound
age: 1.5-3.5
no tension or struggle
```
66
what is beginning stuttering
repetitions more hurried
characterized by neutral vowel: muh muh Mike
blocks appear
tension exhibited but no strong negative feelings
older preschool age
67
what is intermediate stuttering
most notable behavior is block
child begins to fear stuttering
age 6-13
68
what is advanced stuttering
tension, escape, avoidance
longer blocks
affects school, work and social lives
69
how do you identify covert behaviors in the classroom
disparity between written and oral performance
70
what are ways to bring about fluency
1. prolongations
2. chorale speech
3. shadow speech: spoken directly after
71
describe the Lidcombe Program
Stage 1:
1. assess severity, explain rating to parents, teach parent to conduct daily treatment conversations
2. structured treatment: sit with child 15 minutes a day, read with them to bring about speech, start at their linguistic level
3. after progress for 2-3 weeks begin unstructured treatment and fade structured treatments
Stage 2:
1. when parent and clinician ratings are all 1-2 for 3 weeks in a row2. reduced verbal contingencies
takes about 1 year
72
how do you teach fluency skills
1. flexible rate: slowing
2. pause: preparatory set
3. easy onsets:
4. light contacts
5. proprioception: conscious attention to movements of articulators
