Book Programmed Therapy FOR STUTTERING in Children and Adults

Download or read book Programmed Therapy FOR STUTTERING in Children and Adults written by Bruce P. Ryan and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to call attention to a systematic scientific approach to studying and treating stuttering via the strategies of operant conditioning, learning theory, and single-subject research design. Another purpose is to present the data collected and/or published over the past 30 years in one place for evaluation and comparison. This new edition starts with a brief introductory chapter including the basic principles of operant analysis. Chapter 2 covers the mechanics of charting, counting, and computing stuttering and speaking rates. Chapter 3 describes evaluation with both new data and forms. Chapter 4 is on programming, and Chapter 5 highlights the two present major establishment programs, Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF)-Prolongation and Gradual Increase in Length and Complexity of Utterance (GILCU). 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. Chapter 10 is a summary of efficacy data published over recent years, and Chapter 11 provides conclusions, discussion of problems, and suggested directions for future clinical research. Because it uniquely combines behavior modification, remediation of a well-known but perplexing disorder, and the most up-to-date clinical research, this outstanding new edition will serve as a great resource to anyone involved in the treatment of speech disorders.

Book More Than Fluency  the Social  Emotional  and Cognitive Dimensions of Stuttering

Download or read book More Than Fluency the Social Emotional and Cognitive Dimensions of Stuttering written by Barbara J. Amster and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Than Fluency: The Social, Emotional, and Cognitive Dimensions of Stutteringprovides a thoughtful and contemporary framework for speech-language pathologists and others working with people who stutter. The text focuses on the social, emotional, and cognitive realms of stuttering and offers new insights and applications based on research in the field. It guides the reader through theoretical discussions about the social experiences, emotional complications, and cognitive interpretations that often influence the person who stutters. The text also offers practical strategies for intervention from contributing authors who are prominent theorists, researchers, and practitioners in the field of fluency and stuttering. In line with the current multifactorial view of stuttering, More Than Fluency emphasizes the social, emotional, and cognitive aspects of stuttering, drawing important connections between them. The authors present a variety of therapeutic interventions and techniques along with practical guidelines that have been designed to alleviate distress in those who stutter. Although these interventions differ in approach, each offers their own roadmap to support and empower people who stutter. The idea for this book grew out of the insights gained from listening to both clients and graduate students. Clients wanted to talk about their life experiences as a person who stutters. Graduate students often described their worry and uncertainty when dealing with the emotional and social issues of their clients who stutter. Similarly, many practicing speech-language pathologists also have concerns about treating people who stutter, especially regarding the social, emotional, and cognitive aspects of the disorder, areas not typically taught in traditional coursework. More Than Fluency was developed for practicing speech-language pathologists and other professionals who evaluate and treat people who stutter. It is also intended to be an academic textbook used in graduate courses on fluency and stuttering. This text provides a collection of well-thought-out programs and approaches that help treat the whole person, not just his or her stuttering. The authors believe that this is best practice because successfully treating a person who stutters encompasses treating more than fluency.

Book The Effect on Stuttering of Adults who Stutter Following a Virtual Non programmed Prolonged Speech Intensive Therapy Program

Download or read book The Effect on Stuttering of Adults who Stutter Following a Virtual Non programmed Prolonged Speech Intensive Therapy Program written by Daisy J. Hernández and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: This investigation examined the effects of a virtual non-programmed prolonged speech intensive therapy program on stuttering of adults who stutter (AWS). The objective of this study was to determine if the treatment would decrease the participants' (a) percent syllable stuttered (%SS), (b) perception of their stuttering severity via the Self-Assessment Severity Rating Scale (SASRS), and if so, (c) were participants able to maintain their fluency levels during a 2-week maintenance program. Methods: Four adult participants with a perception of moderate to moderate-severe stuttering disorder were included in this A-B-A nonconcurrent multiple baseline across participants investigation. The dependent variables (DV) were the participants' frequency of %SS and the participants' perception of stuttering severity. The independent variable (IV) was the implementation of a virtual four week intensive nonprogrammed prolonged speech program. Results: Results revealed positive outcomes for both measures. All four participants demonstrated a level change between phases A and B. Upon entering the maintenance phase (Phase A2), all participants revealed a continued decrease in severity perception and a maintained %SS. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated a positive treatment effect on the perception of stuttering severity and frequency of %SS, and levels were maintained throughout the maintenance phase. Further investigation examining the participants' speech naturalness or pre- and post-intervention data is warranted.

Download or read book Stuttering Therapy written by Speech Foundation of America and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Approaches to the Treatment of Stuttering

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.
