Study Notes
Preschool Stuttering
- Rustin’s Family Interaction Therapy focuses on modifying parent interaction skills to improve communication with the child.
- Parents are trained to identify and modify problematic behaviors like rapid speech, interruptions, and over-direction in play.
- Therapy involves designated "special times" for parents to practice these changes at home.
- Lidcombe Approach is a parent-centered treatment for children under 6 years old.
- It uses an operant conditioning model with positive reinforcement to encourage fluent speech.
- Parents are trained to identify and address stuttering moments with praise and correction.
- The Lidcombe program relies on severity ratings to guide treatment decisions.
School-Age Children Who Stutter
- Fluency Shaping focuses on controlled fluency techniques like rate control, breathing exercises, and easy onset.
- Stuttering Modification focuses on modifying stuttering behaviors through four phases: identification, desensitization, modification, and stabilization.
- Modification techniques include cancellation, pullouts, and preparatory sets, aimed at reducing fear and creating easier ways to stutter.
- Integrated approach combines Fluency Shaping with Stuttering Modification, focusing on feelings, emotions, and addressing teasing/bullying.
- In the classroom teachers should maintain eye contact, pause before responding, rephrase child's remarks, and reduce the complexity of their speech when a child stutters.
- Teasing and bullying should be acknowledged, addressed with a matter-of-fact approach, and discussed discreetly with the child and parents.
Comprehensive Treatment Approach
- Personalized Fluency Program - Cooper emphasizes structuring, targeting, adjusting, and regulating therapy based on individual needs.
- Healey's CALMS Model incorporates cognitive, affective, linguistic, motor, and social aspects of stuttering.
- Therapy for school-aged children includes multiple goals focused on increasing fluency, addressing emotional responses, and building positive attitudes towards speaking.
- Transfer and maintenance involve role-playing, discourse practice, telephone conversations, competition/disruption situations, and home programs.
- Emotional and attitude changes focus on parents learning to listen actively, reflect back, discover emotions, and validate feelings.
- Cognitive activities use self-rating scales, reframing beliefs, problem-solving techniques, and visual aids to promote positive self-perception and coping mechanisms.
