Forum Bill Parry's Stuttering Links Stuttering (sometimes called "stammering") is a specific kind of disfluency, in which the flow of speech tends to be involuntarily disrupted by forceful closures of the mouth or larynx, by repetitions or prolongations of sounds and syllables, or by hesitations or delays in making voiced sounds. Stuttering generally involves an excessive amount of effort, force, and struggle in the attempt to speak. It also may be accompanied by a variety of behaviors intended to avoid, postpone, or hide the blocks. Stuttering, while not the worst of handicaps, certainly can be one of the most frustrating. Unlike other disabilities, stuttering has the mystifying and maddening habit of coming and going. Even if you stutter badly, chances are that you will be perfectly fluent when singing, talking in unison with other people, and in certain speaking situations. You may do a great job acting out a role on stage, but not be able to say your name when asked. You may begin telling a joke with perfect fluency, but not be able to deliver the punch line. You may have long stretches of fluency when it really doesn't matter. Then, just when the words are most important, stuttering jumps out of the closet and pins your speech to the ground. This website is devoted to exploring the puzzle of stuttering, the factors that may cause or perpetuate it, and what we might do to control or alleviate it through therapy or self help. We are also interested in encouraging self-esteem and acceptance for persons who stutter, fighting discrimination, and educating the public about this often misunderstood condition.

82. AMICK HOLZMAN COMPANY Of Toluca Lake, California Two videotapes about the stuttering therapy work of Joseph and Vivian Sheehan. http://home.pacbell.net/amickith/index.html

AMICK HOLZMAN COMPANY of Toluca Lake, California We are pleased to present the following reviews of our two documentaries about stuttering, "No Words To Say" and "Joseph G. Sheehan's Message to a Stutterer." The reviews were published in the November, 1988 edition of the professional trade magazine for speech and language pathologists, ASHA. Thank you for your interest. Ron Amick, Producer ASHA JOURNAL DECEMBER 1988 - Reviews by Dr. Eugene B. Cooper "No Words To Say" begins with the simple printed message that people like Moses, Winston Churchill, and Marilyn Monroe stuttered and that about 1% of the world's population stutters. This message flows across the screen with the sound of a piano as background. Allan Holzman, the producer, director, photographer, and editor, then discusses his own stuttering problem and his desire to produce a film on stuttering. Holzman notes that while conducting research for the project he became aware of the stuttering therapy program that Joseph G. Sheehan conducted for 35 years at the University of California at Los Angeles until his death in 1983. The program continues under the direction of his wife Vivian.

What causes it? Onset Natural recovery The impact of stuttering on daily life Stuttering is a disorder in which speech is interrupted by repeated movements and fixed postures of the speech mechanism. These interruptions may be accompanied by signs of struggle and tension. The speech disruptions of stuttering range across people from mild to severe, and stuttering may also be quite variable within people. For example, in preschool-age children, stuttering may come and go over days or months. In older children and adults, stuttering may vary according to the communicative context.

Comprehensive Therapy for the Treatment of Stuttering Ross Barrett, M.A., CCC/SLP Instructor of Clinical Otolaryngology Eastern Virginia Medical School Program Director Board Certified Fluency Specialist "I went through the PFSP program when I was twelve years old. That was thirteen years ago and I can't begin to tell you how it has changed my life," said a graduate of the program. "Knowing that Ross used to stutter severely was (and is) a great motivation to me. Today I have a job that requires me to speak in public almost every day. Without Ross and the PFSP, I would not have the confidence to speak in public like I do now." View the RealVideo clip of a CBS news story done on Ross Barrett and his successful program graduates.

Click to read the column , titled "Program may be answer for those who stutter." t the Precision Fluency Shaping Program, stuttering is treated as a behavioral problem, and not perceived as the consequence of a complex emotional disorder. The accurate redevelopment of the physical properties of speech compromises a valuable approach to a perplexing, long-standing affliction. The Precision Fluency Shaping Program employs laboratory derived principles of learning in the development of new speech skills. In the therapy program, the physical mechanisms used in the production of speech are precisely and systematically retrained. Initially, participants in the Precision Fluency Shaping Program relearn the proper means of producing the elementary sounds of speech. The stutterers then rebuild their ability to correctly produce syllables, words, and ultimately, complete sentences.

87. A Quick Definition Of Stuttering What is stuttering? stuttering is a disorder of fluency characterized byvarious behaviors that interfere with the forward flow of speech. http://www.wiu.edu/users/mfrwq/whatisstut.html

What is stuttering? (These are just a few basic ideas that drive my thinking about stuttering. Certainly, there is a lot more to stuttering than what is presented here.) primarily characterized by repetitions (sounds, syllables, part-words, whole words, phrases), pauses, and prolongations that differ in number and severity from those of normally fluent individuals. other disorders are characterized by disfluent speech, but the patterns of disfluency in these other disorders differ from that seen in developmental stuttering. onset usually occurs around the time that language skills are developing, and onset is generally gradual in nature. Late-onset developmental stuttering is rare. secondary characteristics are frequently evident, and these vary in type and severity from stutterer to stutterer. the disorder is variable the stutterer will be more fluent in some situations than others, more fluent at some times than others, etc. sometimes, all the time? we have to be cautious not to read too much into fluency established in the clinical setting. most stutterers can be highly fluent under certain conditions (e.g., choral reading, white noise masking).

Canadian Association for People who Stutter CAPS CAPS Ottawa '93 Conference July 29 - August 1, 1993 STUTTERING From the brochure by the same name, produced by THE ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF SPEECH-LANGUAGE 1. WHAT IS STUTTERING? Any break in the flow of speech may sound like stuttering. These breaks may be described as partor whole word repetitions (e.g. bu-bu-butter); phrase repetitions (e.g. what is the...what is the...what is the answer?); sound prolongations (f-f-f-flower); or any form of struggling behaviourassociated with the production of speech. 2. WHAT CAUSES STUTTERING? There seem to be different causes of stuttering for different people. Hereditary factors, as well asenvironmental influences play an important role. Problems with language may also be associatedwith stuttering. 3. ARE STUTTERING AND STAMMERING THE SAME THING? Yes. Stuttering is the term more often used by North Americans. Stammering is the term morefrequently used by the British. 4. DOESN'T EVERYONE STUTTER... AT TIMES? Yes...quite true! In fact, normal speech includes 2-4% interruptions in flow or fluency. Mostchildren experience some stuttering which is considered to be a normal stage in speech andlanguage development. Adults may also have frequent interruptions, interjections (like, um, uh...),repetitions, hesitations and/or revisions in their choice of words.

Advanced Search Articles Departments Patient Information Stuttering: A Brief Review MICHAEL LAWRENCE, M.D., University of Maryland Medical School, Baltimore, Maryland DAVID M. BARCLAY III, M.D., M.P.H., Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The etiology of stuttering is controversial. The prevailing theories point to measurable neurophysical dysfunctions that disrupt the precise timing required to produce speech. Stuttering is a common disorder that usually resolves by adulthood. Almost 80 percent of children who stutter recover fluency by the age of 16 years. Mild stuttering is self-limited, but more severe stuttering requires speech therapy, which is the mainstay of treatment. Delayed auditory feedback and computer-assisted training are currently used to help slow down speech and control other speech mechanisms. Pharmacologic therapy is seldom used, although haloperidol has been somewhat effective. S tuttering is a disorder affecting the fluency of speech. The World Health Organization defines stuttering as "a disorder in the rhythm of speech in which the individual knows precisely what he or she wishes to say, but at the same time may have difficulty saying it because of an involuntary repetition, prolongation, or cessation of sound." Stuttering may be divided into developmental dysfluency (which many children experience) and pathologic dysfluency.
