  Stuttering is an interruption in the flow of speaking due to disfluencies. It is the most common fluency disorder and can affect the rate and rhythm of speech. Stuttering also typically involves inappropriate reactions of others, the negative reactions toward stuttering from typically fluent speakers who do not stutter, or negative internal reactions to speaking, the feelings that a person who stutters has about their stuttering. […] Stuttering typically begins in childhood. Approximately 95% of children who stutter start to do so before the age of 4 years, and the average age of onset is approximately 33 months. Onset may be progressive or sudden. […] Helping individuals who stutter become more accepting of and open about their stuttering may help them have workplace conversations about it, advocate for themselves, and build support systems within the workplace.

• #12 Stuttering therapy – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttering_therapy

  Fluency shaping therapy focuses on changing all of the speech of the person who stutters. This type of therapy involves teaching the stutterer to use a speaking style that requires careful and prominent self-monitoring; examples of such therapy include one in which the stutterer slows his speech down or speaks in a controlled tone. This type of approach can reduce stuttering, although in children its effectiveness decreases if stuttering persists after eight years of age. […] Stuttering modification therapy, also known as traditional stuttering therapy, was developed by Charles Van Riper between 1936 and 1958. It focuses on reducing the severity of stuttering by changing only the portions of speech in which a person stutters, to make them smoother, shorter, less tense and hard, and less penalizing. This approach attempts to reduce the severity and fear of stuttering, and strives to teach stutterers to stutter with control, and not to make the stutterer fluent. Therapy using this approach tends to recognize the fear and avoidance of stuttering.

  This involves the stammerer taking on-board techniques to alter and improve speech characteristics, such as slowing speech, pausing and prolonging speech sounds. […] Stammerers are usually trained in using certain breathing techniques which encourage them to breathe from their diaphragms, gently increase vocal fold tension at the beginning of words (gentle onsets), slow their speaking rate by stretching vowels, and reduce articulatory pressure. […] Some studies have shown that this treatment worked well for many stammerers with about 70% of participants claiming satisfactory fluency 12-24 months after treatment. […] Fluency shaping aims to make speech more fluent, modification therapy tries to modify your moments of stammering so that they are less severe. […] Unlike fluency shaping therapy, stuttering modification therapy assumes that adult stammerers will never be able to speak fluently, so the goal is to be an effective communicator despite stammering. […] The final stage focuses on stabilization where the stammerer practices his new skills and changes his self-concept from being a person who stammers to a person who speaks fluently most of the time but who occasionally stammers.

  Cognitive behavioral therapy may be used to help people who stutter. CBT may be partially effective in helping clients reduce their secondary behaviors, anxiety, and cognitive distortion. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a collaborative process that requires the client and the therapist working together to explore the buried feelings of frustration, avoidance, anger, and self-doubt. Younger children who stutter are more benefited by CBT as compared to adults who stutter. Research at the Michael Palin Center has shown that CBT is a powerful tool for children who stutter. […] Several pharmacologic, i.e. drug-based, methods to control or alleviate stuttering events have been studied, but each has either proved ineffective or have had adverse effects. A comprehensive review of pharmacologic interventions for stuttering showed that no agent leads to valid improvement in stuttering or in secondary social and emotional consequences.

  Patients with stuttering should be evaluated for secondary psychosocial effects and offered appropriate treatment. […] It is generally considered best to institute therapy early, while the speech centers of the brain are more plastic, allowing compensatory changes in the brain to occur. […] Therapy may be indirect (training parents to increase fluency-enhancing behavior while decreasing fluency-inhibiting behavior) or direct (training parents to encourage fluent speech with the child). […] The goal of therapy for persistent stuttering transitions from a principal emphasis on achieving fluency to developing effective compensatory techniques and eliminating ineffective secondary behaviors. […] Many different speech therapies have been developed, partly because of the variety of neurologic deficits that can cause stuttering and the many ways that people who stutter react to their disability.

  Other types of speech therapy for children acknowledge that since there is no cure for stuttering, elimination as a goal may cause negative impacts. As such, a speech therapist will work on educating parents and family members about how to listen to their child and how to advocate for them. The goal for this type of therapy is to ensure a child continues to speaks, whether they spontaneously stop stuttering or not. […] One option for an elimination model is Lidcombe Program, popular in Australia. Lidcombe therapy requires a parent or a significant person in the child’s life being trained in delivering feedback about stuttering in the child’s everyday environment. In the program, family members praise their child for fluent speech in the child’s daily speaking, and use negative correction of stuttering.

  This technique does two things: first, it models for your child what a smoother, more fluent way of speaking sounds like and secondly, it builds more time into the conversation so your child will feel less rushed (and therefore be more fluent). […] The Reduced Demands Technique (for Parents) […] That’s why it can be so powerful for children who stutter if the demands placed on them around speaking are dialed waaaaaay back. A lighter speaking burden leads to easier, more fluent speech. […] The Verbal Feedback Technique (For Parents; Also called The Lidcombe Program and the Response/Contingencies Approach) […] Only meant for children 3-6, making verbal responses about a child’s speech can help their brain learn to speak more fluently without them consciously learning any intricate techniques.

  Stammering is a common condition in children that may last into adulthood and can affect people’s self-esteem, education and employment prospects. […] 22 October is International Stammering Awareness Day and sees the launch of a new Oxford University trial investigating whether a form of non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who stammer achieve fluent speech more easily and make this fluency last longer. […] Speech and Language Therapy for people who stammer may involve learning to reduce moments of stammering, or decrease the amount of tension when stammering. Techniques such as speaking in time with a metronome beat, or lengthening each speech sound can immediately increase fluency. […] Non-invasive brain stimulation is a promising new method for treating disorders that affect the brain’s function. The method we use is called transcranial direct current stimulation (or TDCS for short). TDCS involves passing a very weak electrical current across surface electrodes placed on the scalp, and through the underlying brain tissue (it doesn’t hurt!). This stimulation changes the excitability of the targeted brain area.

We are interested in how TDCS could help people who stammer to achieve fluent speech more easily, and maintain their fluency for longer. […] In this study, we want to see how the effects of a brief course of fluency therapy might be increased or prolonged by using TDCS. […] The results of the trial will give us a first indication about whether TDCS might be a useful method to develop for stammering therapy.

  There are a number of treatments for adult stuttering. Speech therapy can help adults that stutter, but is often dependant on a number of factors including the severity of the stammer, the commitment of the individual, the skills of the therapist, the underlying psychological issues of the individual, time and financial constraints and the type of therapy technique chosen. […] No single treatment is effective for every stammerer and because everyone is different some treatments need to be tailored to the individual.
