All people produce disfluencies some of the time
3
New cards
Stuttering
oUnusual, tense disfluencies that interfere with communication

\-Most common form of fluency impairment

\-Acquired/ neurogenic stuttering- in adulthood due to brain damage or emotional trauma

10
New cards
Myths about stuttering
People who stutter are more introverted than people who do not stutter, people who stutter are more anxious and nervous than people who do not stutter, parents of children who stutter are more anxious and sensitive than parents of children who do not stutter, people who stutter have lower intelligence than people who do not stutter, people who stutter have less self-confidence than people who do not stutter
11
New cards
Etiology of stuttering
Dynamic relationships between:

o Inherited traits -Temperament, cognitive abilities, language abilities, attention, perception, speech motor control

o External conditions -Parental expectations, relationships with others, child-rearing practices, educational experiences
12
New cards
development of stuttering
•Usually gradual

oSometimes develops suddenly

• Genetic predisposition o15% first-degree relatives

• Balance between demands and capacities

oNeurological development oLanguage development

oEmotional constancy
13
New cards
Stuttering Assessment
• Interviews and case history

• Speech samples

• Language development

• Consistency- stutter on same word (reading same passage twice)

• Adaptation

• Feeling and attitudes

• Trial therapy
14
New cards
measures (stutter)
• Non-stuttering disfluencies (phrase repetitions, revisions) vs. stuttering-like disfluencies

• Frequency of stuttering

o 500 total words

o 76 words were stuttered

o (76/500) x 100= 15.2%

• Percentage of each disfluency type

o 76 words were stuttered

o 21 words contained sound prolongations

o (21/76) x100 = 27.6% prolongations
15
New cards
Stutter Modification (treatment)
\-client is taught to stutter less and more easily

\-speech is more natural

\-considerable focus on attitudes and negative reactions to speaking situations
16
New cards
Fluency Shaping (treatment)

49
New cards
Aspiration
when food enters the airway
50
New cards
Normal swallow
oAnticipatory- Smelling, salivate, getting ready to taste, sight- Avoid potential harm (food poisoning)

oOral- Preparatory- chewing- Transport- swallowoPharyngeal- Protection of the airway\*- Esophagus opens to take in the food

oEsophageal - Bolus moves throughout esophagus in peristaltic waves
51
New cards
Anticipatory stage
•Before food reaches the mouth

•Sensory information helps person prepare for food o Sensory info- visual & olfactory

•Allow person to discriminate desirable and undesirable things to eat
52
New cards
Oral
•Preparatory

o Food chewed and mixed with saliva (bolus) •Transport

o Tongue pushes the bolus up against the palate and moved it posteriorly toward the pharynx

o Size and consistency of bolus dictate lingual strength needed
53
New cards
Pharyngeal
•Purposes

o Protect the airway

o Direct bolus to the stomach •Swallow is triggered by sensory information sent to the brain

•Upper esophageal sphincter opens

•Velum elevates and contracts

•Epiglottis covers larynx and larynx moves up and forward
54
New cards
esophageal
•Begins when larynx lowers backward

o Breathing continues •Esophageal peristalsis

o Peristalsis- synchronized smooth muscle contractions
55
