This study describes relationships between speech, language, and related behaviors exhibited during an initial diagnostic evaluation by 2- to 6-year-old children referred for of their speech language development. These were as a result parents’ concerns that they might be at risk stuttering. Subjects 100 (85 boys 15 girls; mean age=54.7 months; SD =12.2 months) who appeared representative the clinicians are likely evaluate in clinical setting. Analyses based on retrospective examination...

The purpose of this study was to account for the frequency, type, and possible origins speech disfluency clusters in spontaneous 3- 6-year-old children, 30 who stutter do not stutter. On basis Covert Repair Hypothesis (Postma & Kolk, 1993), which suggests that stutterings are by-products self-repairs or self-corrections errors, three hypotheses were tested attempts frequency location within clusters. Sequences various types disfluencies utterances containing collected from...

Selected characteristics of disfluent conversational utterances with and without disfluency clusters were examined in 14 children who stutter (CWS) do not (CWNS). For CWS, contained significantly more syllables clausal constituents than clusters, which, turn, syllables, clauses, fluent utterances. both groups children, coincided often utterance or clause onset they did grammatical located elsewhere within an utterance. CWNS produced a greater percentage that revision CWS. No significant...

While more information about Japanese stuttering has become available, there is a lack of standardization speech sample measures. To advance cross-linguistic knowledge stuttering, we need data on the types stuttering-like disfluencies (SLDs) in and investigation into their developmental patterns. Spontaneous from 10 speakers, aged 3–48 years, was transcribed coded for morae, syllables, 'bunsetsu' or word units, disfluencies. A corpus 122 SLDs obtained. Most (82.9%) were repetitions. Both...

To study the effects of clinicians’ slow rate on speech children who stutter with and without a concomitant phonological disorder, an A–B–A–B single case design was used six clinician–child dyads, where B = Clinician’s model. Two boys one girl, aged 49–54 months, stuttering disordered phonology (S + DP), were compared to three 42–50 normal NP). Articulation rates measured in phones per second (pps) adjacent utterance pairs. The S NP dyads showed improved fluency condition through larger...

Adult conversational recasts are based on child platform utterances that contain errors (e.g., Child: "Me going." Adult: "Yes, you going"), and effective in the language literature. For many years, adult of preschoolers' stuttered were surmised as fluency-facilitating, but to date, no evidence has been reported support their efficacy. The purpose was investigate natural occurrence of, fluency-facilitating potential produced by caregivers clinicians/examiners free-play interactions...

School-aged children who stutter often present concomitant impairments in articulation and language that can complicate treatment. In this article, a framework is offered for designing intervention programs such children. It stressed clinicians must first identify clinical priorities by determining the severity of impairments, their impact on daily activities, others' reactions to likelihood unassisted recovery. Several potential treatment models are presented, as general principles specific...

Abstract This competencies checklist is suggested as a resource for instructing and evaluating graduate student clinicians in the assessment treatment of stuttering. It was adapted use with from existing Guidelines Practice Stuttering Treatment. Please consult http://www.asha.org/docs/html/GL1995-00048.htm1#sec1.4 extended list contained Guidelines.

Abstract Our purpose was to examine the basic level of auditory processing skills in school-age children who stutter. We administered three tasks—dichotic digits, temporal patterning, and discrimination—from Differential Screening Test for Processing (Richard & Ferre, 2006). Five 6- 9-year-old boys stutter were age-matched five do not Children showed significantly poorer performance on discrimination subtest. These preliminary results suggest that, a subgroup stutter, difficulties may...
