Download or read book Approaches to the Treatment of Stuttering written by Peggy Dalton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years prior to publication ‘cures’ for stuttering seemed to appear constantly, but many were of limited value, were poorly evaluated and gave only a temporary alleviation that was not transferred to daily life. More responsible clinicians produced publications expounding one particular approach to therapy but less was available giving a balanced overview which was of practical help to therapists. Originally published in 1983, this book aimed to provide such an overview, with a focus on practical intervention rather than on theory. The need for careful assessment is particularly stressed and also the need for flexibility in the choice of treatment for any one client. Changes in fluency are looked at in relation to the effects they might have on the person’s life as a whole and factors involved in the maintenance of this change are discussed. In addition, adjuncts to speech therapy, such as drugs, hypnosis and various forms of masking are evaluated. Issues of the training of therapists are raised and suggestions made as to the nature of the therapeutic relationship when working with people who stutter.

Book excerpt: This volume contains five papers presented at a conference on developmental and environmental factors related to the onset of stuttering, evaluation and treatment procedures, and the measurement of therapy outcomes. In "The Development of Fluency in Normal Children," C. W. Starkweather considers evaluation of the fluency of young speakers. L. A. Nelson, "Language Formulation Related to Disfluency and Stuttering," focuses on the relationships between language developmental factors, disfluency, and language problems of children. In the paper "Speech Motor Processes and Stuttering in Children: A Theoretical and Clinical Perspective," J. M. Hanley sees the child as a communicating, interacting individual who possesses those motoric disruptions labelled as stuttering. "Emotional and Environmental Problems in Stuttering," by D. E. Williams identifies the increasing trend toward investigation of factors within and outside of the child which contribute to increased disfluency. In "Toward a Therapy Assessment Procedure for Treating Stuttering Children," R. J. Ingham considers ways to evaluate the effectiveness of stuttering and speech therapy programs. A sixth paper, "Integration: Present Status and Prospects for the Future" by H. H. Gregory, offers an integration of the main points made in the individual papers and the resultant discussion groups.

Download or read book No Miracle Cures written by Thomas David Kehoe and published by Casa Futura Technologies. This book was released on 2006 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stuttering is caused by at least five factors: genetics, two neurological abnormalities, responses to stress, and speech-related fears and anxieties. But most stuttering therapy programs address only one issue, such as breathing a certain way, or not hiding your stuttering. Each might help you in some situations, but you still stutter in other situations. No Miracle Cures instead guides you through treatments for all five factors that contribute to stuttering. You'll find the best treatments for children, teenagers, adults who stutter mildly, and adults who stutter severely. Stuttering may seem like one big problem to you. No Miracle Cures breaks down stuttering into many small problems'and shows you how to solve each one.

Book excerpt: This volume contains six papers presented by speech therapists at a conference dealing with principles and procedures that are crucial to transfer and maintenance of the modification of stuttering and the production of increased fluency. E. G. Conture, in "The General Problem of Change," addresses some of the general issues which affect the transfer of speech improvement skills learned during speech therapy to speech incidents outside of the therapeutic environment. In "Working with Children in the School Environment," D. E. Williams considers ways to accomplish--and some of the problems associated with--transfer and maintenance in stuttering therapy for elementary school aged children. The third paper, "Behavioral Transfer and Maintenance Programs for Adolescent and Adult Stutterers" by E. Boberg, discusses the rationale and strategies used in transfer and maintenance programs for adults and adolescents. "An Alternative to Automatic Fluency," by W. H. Perkins considers the question of automaticity of fluent speech and whether it can be achieved and maintained through speech therapy. In "Body Concept, Self Concept and Balance," E. Versteegh-Vermeij encourages the addded dimension of body awareness, individual needs and self-concept development in speech therapy programs. J. G. Sheehan, "Relapse and Recovery from Stuttering," identifies sources and causes of relapse in stuttering and ways in which to make these factors work in favor of the stutterer. A final commentary paper by H. H. Gregory, highlights topics discussed at the conference, including: attitude change; acceptance; therapy intervention; and maintenance. (CB)

Download or read book Stuttering an Integration of Contemporary Therapies written by Barry Guitar and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, most disagreement about stuttering therapy has boiled down to a preference for one of two major approaches. Some clinicians have preferred to help stutterers learn not to avoid stuttering, but to approach it and to learn to stutter in simpler and easier ways; this approach is known as stuttering modification therapy. Proponents of the fluency shaping therapy, on the other hand, teach stutterers to speak in a fluent pattern that can be gradually shaped to normal sounding speech in all situations. This book illustrates how it is both possible and desirable to integrate and coordinate these two therapeutic approaches while still retaining the advantages of both. The five chapters address: (1) comparison of stuttering modification and fluency shaping therapies; (2) preliminary comments on diagnostic and treatment procedures; (3) the high school and adult stutterer; (4) the elementary school child who stutters; and (5) the preschool child who stutters.

Chapter 6 discusses transfer and maintenance programs and follow-up, while Chapter 7 presents long-term individual client performances in several programs. Chapter 8 covers the preschool stuttering child, and Chapter 9 describes efforts at and results of dissemination through training.
