Document Summary

Review nature of various forms of dysfluency & define stuttering within these forms. Understand current understanding of anatomical & physiological correlates of stuttering. Explore guitar"s two stage model of stuttering . Normal nonfluency: word, phrase, sentence repetitions, interjections, hesitations, no struggle behaviours. Repetitions (words, sounds, syllables), prolongations, blocks: secondary behaviours. Cluttering: word and phrase repetitions, no struggle behaviours, fast rate of speech production, disorganized verbal formulation/narrative structuring, more likely to have underlying language disorder and general motor difficulties, frequently lacking in awareness. Acquired neurogenic stuttering: neurological insult e. g. brain disease, tbi, psychogenic in origin, usually do not have struggle behaviours. Primary dysfluencies (in order of increasing tension): repetitions (words, sounds, syllables, prolongations, blocks. Secondary behaviours: facial tension, facial contortions, extraneous movements. Associated feelings: avoidance, sound and situation fears, shame, denial. No cure for stuttering, but many cases do recover. Many diff treatment approaches, many w/ similar approaches that are effective but fluent speech isn"t often established consistently & permanently.
