www.ASHA.org Stuttering Stuttering is a disorder of speech fluency that interrupts the forward flow of speech. All individuals are disfluent at times, but what differentiates the person who stutters from someone with normal speech disfluencies is the kind and amount of the disfluencies. Characteristics Repetition of sounds (e.g., b-b-b-ball), syllables (e.g., mo-mo-mommy), parts of words (e.g., basket-basket-basketball), whole words, and phrases Prolongation , or stretching, of sounds or syllables (e.g., r-abbit) Tense pauses, hesitations, and/or no sound between words Speech that occurs in spurts, as the client tries to initiate or maintain voice Related behaviors: reactions that accompany stuttering such as tense muscles in the lips, jaw, and/or neck; tremor of the lips, jaw, and/or tongue during attempts to speak; foot tapping. eye blinks, head turns, etc. [to try to escape from the stuttering]; etc. There are many related behaviors that can occur and vary from person to person. Variability in stuttering behavior, depending on the speaking situation, the communication partner(s), and the speaking task. A person who stutters may experience more fluency in the speech-language pathologist' s office than in a classroom or workplace. There may be no difficulty making a special dinner request at home, but extreme difficulty ordering a meal in a restaurant. Conversation with a spouse may be easier, and more fluent, than that with a boss. A person may be completely fluent when singing, but experience significant stuttering when talking on the telephone.

General Information aboutSpeech and Language Disorders Spoken Language Problems, What is stuttering? http://www.kidsource.com/ASHA/Stuttering.html

Questions and Answers about Stuttering advertisement Source American Speech- Language- Hearing Association Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Related Articles General Information about Speech and Language Disorders Spoken Language Problems What is stuttering? Stuttering is the condition in which the flow of speech is broken by abnormal stoppages (no sound), repetitions (st-st-stuttering), or prolongations (ssssstuttering) of sounds and syllables. There may also be unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak. Aren't all people nonfluent to some extent? Yes. Almost all children go through a stage of frequent nonfluency in early speech development. Adults may interject syllables ("uh") and occasionally repeat words, phrases and sounds, but these nonfluencies are accepted as normal and usually are not a cause for concern. Does stammering mean the same thing as stuttering? Most people use the terms interchangeably. What causes stuttering? We still do not know for a fact what causes stuttering. It may have different causes in different people, or it may occur only when a combination of factors comes together. It is also quite possible that what causes stuttering is quite different from what makes it continue or get worse. Possible influences include incoordination of the speech muscles; rate of language development; the way parents and others talk to the child; and other forms of communication and life stress.

In contrast, we view the use of behavioural techniques similar to Communism-a moribund paradigm that rests on a foundation of belief and psychological investment, and 'restructuring' this inherently flawed retraining paradigm is impossible. Simply put, we do not want to waste the lives of another generation in working towards the misguided illusions of generating 'true fluency' [via behavioral techniques]. First, we propose a categorical distinction in the end-product of fluency that has been mentioned by few researchers and clinicians . We suggest three tiers of speech production by persons who stutter. These include: (1) Pseudofluency, which is unnatural sounding, effort-filled and draws attention to itself even when devoid of discrete repetitions, discrete prolongations and/or struggle behaviors...... Researchers and clinicians alike acknowledge that voluntary control over speech results inunnatural, effortful, unstable and perceptually deliberate speech in those who stutter .

Info The Cleveland Chapter Of the National Stuttering Association "There is nothing of which we are more ashamed than of not being ourselves, there is nothing which brings us greater joy and happiness than to think, to feel or to say what is ours" -Erich Fromm Who We are The National Stuttering Association (formerly the National Stuttering Project) is a non-profit organization formed in the San Francisco Bay area in 1977 to meet the needs of people who stutter. The NSA has over 2500 members nationwide and operates a network of 75 local support groups. The Cleveland Chapter is one of those groups. The Cleveland Chapter of the NSA has a group that meets on Cleveland's west side and another group that meets on the west side of Cleveland. Both groups have close ties with each other We are a support group geared toward attracting new people. While many chapter members are undergoing or have completed formal speech therapy programs, the NSP is not a therapy group and talking is voluntary. NSA meetings are a safe place to take risks; to try out new communiction behaviors; share feelings, and be open about our speech and our lives as people who stutter.
