Q

What is the different between indirect and direct interventions?

A

Direct directly target fluency

Indirectly target fluency but still work one-on-one with the child (e.g., makes environmental changes)

Q

When would use of the Lidcombe Programme be appropriate?

A

Enough time for natural recovery has passed (1 year)

OR severity ratings do not show decline
OR high levels of distress
OR known risk factors for persistance

Q

Overview of Lidcombe method

A
  • Parent delivered
  • Direct stuttering treatment
  • Operant conditioning: stuttering can be changed via verbal consequences delivered by parents
  • Doesn’t focus on environmental or emotional aspects

Q

What are the two stages of Lidcombe?

A

Stage One
- Weekly therapy sessions
- Daily 15 minute practise sessions at home with parent (Talking Time) with aim of achieving SR of 0-1
- Parents structure speech to be as simple as necessary but as complex as possible
- Verbal contingencies given
- Daily monitoring of SR rating
- Aim to achieve daily SR ratings of 0-1 for 3 weeks before moving to stage 2

Stage Two
- To prevent relapse
- Typically lasts around 12 months
- Withdraw reinforcement
- Reduce clinic visits

Q

Overview of slow-stretched/rhythmic speech

A
  • Based on the idea that stuttering results from articulatory discoorindation due to mistiming of speech movement
  • Home practise 4-6 times a day for 5-10 minutes administered by parents
  • Saying each syllable with equal stress to a rhythmic beat
  • Daily SR ratings
  • Maintenance period

Q

What is the goal of the Palin parent-child interaction?

A
  1. Reduce negative impact of stuttering on child
  2. Decrease children’s stuttering to WNL
  3. Reduce family anxiety about stuttering
  4. Increase parent’s abilities to manage stuttering

Q

Overview of the Palin parent-child interaction?

A
  • Children up to 7 years old
  • Decision to start treatment is based on impact of stuttering on parents or child
  • Based on the multifactorial model of stuttering
  • Treatment aims to reduce environmental pressures through parent training
  • Indirect approach
  • Intervention strategies introduced through 5 minute special time, 5 times a week
  • initial block of 6 in-clinic sessions, followed by 6-weeks homes consolidation period
  • Treatment is solutions focused

Q

What are some Palin parent-child interaction strategies that might be used in therapy?

A

Parent Interaction Strategies:
- Following child’s lead in play
- Using pausing
- Matching child’s speech rate
- Monitoring Language Complexity through play

Family Strategies:
- Building confidence
- Managing child’s emotions
- Family turn-taking
- Talk openly about stuttering for desensitization
- Fluency only one aspect of communication

17
Q

What are the goals of RESTART-DCM?

A

Achieve normal fluency

Specific goals differ across families
- Reduce stress on the child
- Enhance child’s capacity for fluency

18
Q

Overview of RESTART-DCM

A
  • For children aged 2-6 year olds
  • For children who show signs of physical struggle/other reactions to stuttering or have risk factors for chronic stuttering
  • Based on the demands and capacities model of stuttering: stuttering is caused by an imbalance between the demands and capacities
  • Intervention aims to achieve balance between demands to communicate and motor, linguistic, socioemotional and/or cognitive capacities
  • If stuttering persists, direct approach by modelling slower, more relaxed and smoother speech

Approach includes:
- Video recorded parent-child interaction
- weekly 1 hour treatment sessions
- 15 minutes of “parent child special time” per day, minimum 5 days per week

  • Parents keep daily logbook
19
Q

What are some similarities between the different treatment approaches?

A
  • All have one-on-one time with parents/children
  • All use praise and support for the child
  • All assess progress
  • All have clinic visits/SLT support
  • Time demand for parents
20
Q

What are the four domains of DMC?

A
  1. Motoric domain
  2. Linguistic domain
  3. Emotional domain
  4. Cognitive domain

These domains apply to both the demands and capacities

21
Q

What are the phases of RESTART-DCM?

A
  1. Assessment
  2. First Parent conference
  3. Therapy Phase One: Lowering demands
  4. Therapy Phase Two (if necessary): Increasing capacities
  5. Therapy Phase Three (if necessary): Enhancing fluency more directly
  6. Tapering off treatment
22
Q

What is covered in the RESTART-DCM assessment phase?

A
  • Parent interview
  • Parent/child interaction analysis
  • Child assessment
  • Assessment form
23
Q

What is covered in the RESTART-DCM first parent conference phase?

A
  • Explain DCM model and Ax results
  • Explain treatment process (focus and starting point; log book; 15 minutes special time)
24
Q

What is covered in the RESTART-DCM therapy phase One?

A
  • 1 hour session, once a week
  • Reducing demands
  • After 4 clinician-parent-child sessions, 1 session without child
  • Step wise approach
  • Clinician models behaviour change during free play, parent observes ——— parent applies modeled behaviour during play ——- SLT and parent discuss attempt
25
Q

What is covered in the RESTART-DCM therapy phase two?

A
  • Increasing capacites
26
Q

What is covered in the RESTART-DCM therapy phase three?

A
  • Targeting fluency more directly
27
Q

What is covered in the RESTART-DCM therapy phase four?

A
  • Tapering off therapy
