Study Notes
Stuttering Intervention 3
- Stuttering intervention focuses on affective (emotions), behavioral (core behaviors), and cognitive (attitudes) aspects.
- Affective factors include anxiety, fear, avoidance, and anticipation.
- Behavioral factors include fluency shaping and stuttering modification (SSMP).
- Cognitive factors include reframing and reorganizing thoughts about stuttering and oneself.
Approaches to Therapy
- Fluency shaping (FS) focuses on relaxation and motor skills during fluent speech.
- Stuttering modification (SM) involves modifying or changing stuttering moments. It may include intentional stuttering.
- An integrated approach is recommended, recognizing that stuttering will often persist to some degree, and that success should involve building positive self-esteem.
Synergistic Stuttering Therapy
- A holistic approach, incorporating neuro-physiological demands, physical factors (genetics/brain activity), psycholinguistics (language/disfluency interplay), learned behaviors, attitudes, environment (self-esteem, confidence), and locus of control (internal/external).
- Therapists and clients should identify needs, particularly debilitating negative emotions and actively work to address them.
Intervention/Management of Adults
- Discuss normal communication processes
- Motivate clients through videos, play-tapes, and websites
- Maintain a note-book or journal
- Regularly conduct audio or video tape sessions.
The Process
- Combine stuttering modification with fluency shaping.
- Encourage desensitization and obtain control over stuttering behaviors/moments.
- Use techniques to modify stuttering and practice smooth transitions.
- Gradual transfer to outside situations.
- Encourage attendance at support groups.
- Clients should monitor their progress.
Relapses
- Discuss the meaning of relapses.
- Help clients prepare for revisiting and overcoming fears.
- Encourage positive thinking and set realistic goals.
- Understand that therapy takes time and involves practical assistance from therapists.
Person- and Family-Centered Practice
- Consistent with a family-centered approach, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) educate individuals and their family about stuttering and communication.
- Conversations should focus on the experience of stuttering, the individual’s communication expectations, life goals, and how to holistically support communication.
Changing Cognition
- "Our chief want in life is someone who will make us do what we can.” - Emerson
Motivational Interviewing
- Techniques include open-ended questions, feedback, reflective listening, affirmations, and summarizing.
Basic Principles for Positive Self-Talk
- Create a safe and supportive environment in therapy.
- Collaboratively set specific therapy objectives.
- Create opportunities for success.
- Increase awareness of fluency.
- Encourage use of communication techniques.
- Prepare for the outside world (communication skills).
- Understanding of client perspectives.
Clients Need to Know
- Stuttering is a matter of perspective
- Dis/ability concepts.
- Stuttering and fluency coexist and can be included and addressed.
- Focus is on positive goals and behaviors.
Clients View Stuttering as a Life Barrier
- Clients may feel that stuttering is a “disorder of the spirit.”
- They may resist change and need help to find role models and access new beliefs that focus on control and personal growth.
- Stuttering is actively viewed as a barrier, and painful.
- Clients need to build positive self-images to achieve greater fulfillment and independence.
Low Self-Esteem
- Individuals with low self-esteem tend to demean their own talents, feel unvalued, lack confidence, and feel easily manipulated.
- They might blame others for their weaknesses and struggle to achieve goals.
Therapist and Praising Actions
- Therapists help clients build self-esteem so clients can make choices independently, take responsibility in a confident way.
- Individuals should feel proud of their accomplishments and approach challenges with enthusiasm.
- The therapist promotes tolerance for frustration.
- Clients feel appreciated by important people in their lives.
- Individuals feel capable of influencing others.
Extent of Impact
- Stuttering's impact on social and vocational aspects.
- Implications for clinical practice.
- Successful stuttering management themes.
Rational Emotional or Cognitive Behavior Therapy (RET/CBT)
- Clients might have a history of loss of control.
- Therapists address illogical, inconsistent, and unworkable values.
- Attitudes or beliefs that result from false interpretations of events must be addressed.
- RET/CBT diagrams the process of an activating event -> belief -> emotional response.
Teach Positive and New Values
- Emphasize that psychological health results from respect and love from others.
- Identify and address negative self-talk ("stinkin' thinkin")
- Separate descriptive level (facts) from inferences (interpretations)
- Therapists can teach and help the client evaluate and change negative interpretations to rational ones.
Overly Exaggerated Beliefs
- Irrational beliefs can evolve into unrealistic and painful experiences.
- It is important to recognize that such beliefs may be erroneous.
- The idea that something bad might happen is not a realistic reason to be fearful or unhappy.
Control Processes of Fear and Self-Criticism
- Therapy addresses the primal processing of fear and self-criticism.
- Clients are encouraged to replace negativity with positive thoughts, making progress, and overcoming past difficulties.
Therapist and Client Needs
- Therapists and clients focus on identifying and addressing negative emotions.
- There is a focus on breaking out of negative thinking patterns and creating positive experiences.
- Therapists and clients address feedback from schools, work, home and other settings.
Practical Tips
- Clients should be reassured that not achieving their goals does not make them bad people.
- Perfection is not required, and people can still be good and valuable even without perfection.
- Factors like popularity, achievement and success are not necessarily related to worth.
- Minor setbacks do not mean total failure or catastrophe.
CBT Steps
- Information is given so clients understand the process and objectives
- Cognitively assess what is important to the client
- Identify negative thought patterns (self-defeating thoughts)
- Replace these thoughts with more adaptive alternatives.
