Given that cluttering may co-occur with other disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, Tourettes syndrome, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), having any of these disorders may be a risk factor; however, not all individuals with these disorders also exhibit cluttering. https://doi.org/10.1044/leader.FTR2.19072014.44, American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. However, several likely gene mutations have been linked to stuttering (Frigerio-Domingues & Drayna, 2017). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcomdis.2019.04.003, Menzies, R. G., Onslow, M., Packman, A., & OBrian, S. (2009). Time pressures for verbal communication and requirements to use the telephone may lead to stress and discomfort. However, their disfluencies are not likely to involve prolongations, blocks, physical tension, or secondary behaviors that are more typical for children who stutter (Boscolo et al., 2002).

As suggested earlier, normal disfluencies will appear for a few days and then disappear. The treatment of stuttering. Cluttering, another fluency disorder, is characterized by a perceived rapid and/or irregular speech rate, atypical pauses, maze behaviors, pragmatic issues, decreased awareness of fluency problems or moments of disfluency, excessive disfluencies, collapsing or omitting syllables, and language formulation issues, which result in breakdowns in speech clarity and/or fluency (St. Louis & Schulte, 2011; van Zaalen-Opt Hof & Reichel, 2014). Estimates of incidence and prevalence vary due to a number of factors, including disparities in the sample populations (e.g., age), how stuttering was defined, and how stuttering was identified (e.g., parent report, direct observation). https://doi.org/10.1044/1058-0360.0704.62. Repetitive negative thinking, temperament, and adverse impact in adults who stutter. Increasing fluency may not be a goal for an adult or may be only one aspect of a comprehensive and multidimensional approach (Amster & Klein, 2018). The cost of such avoidance can be great because of the resulting impact on the persons ability to say what they want to say, when they want to say it. . Erlbaum.

What is motivational interviewing? Journal of Fluency Disorders, 50, 5971. Therefore, when conducting an assessment with an adult, it is crucial to understand. Some of the most commonly prescribed typical or first-generation antipsychotics include: Haldol (haloperidol) Thorazine (chlorpromazine) Loxitane (loxapine) Moban (molindone) Mellaril (thioridazine) Serentil (mesoridazine) Navane (thiothixene) Trilafon (perphenazine) On the other hand, the following are atypical or second-generation antipsychotics: Clinicians need to understand the interaction of symptoms and the strategies that are most effective for dealing with stuttering and cluttering when they occur together. They may hesitate when speaking, use fillers (like or uh), or repeat a word or phrase. Stuttering impact: A shared perception for parents and children. Speech clarity and fluency may temporarily improve when the person is asked to slow down or pay attention to their speech. Al-Jazi, A. The person exhibits negative reactions (e.g., affective, behavioral, or cognitive reactions) to their disfluency. Adults who stutter may be dealing with years of shame or stigma (Boyle, 2013a), and they can experience elevated levels of negative mood states (e.g., interpersonal sensitivity and depressed mood) when compared to adults who do not stutter (Tran et al., 2011). ), Stuttering and related disorders of fluency (pp. having flexibility based on individual needs and desired outcomes (Amster & Klein, 2018).

The chart below describes some characteristics of "typical disfluency" and "stuttering" (Adapted from Coleman, 2013). BOBapp What are typical vs. atypical disfluencies in speech? Many clinicians use an integration of approaches to achieve optimal outcomes. Fluency and stuttering. Luterman, D. M. (2006). Other observable, secondary or concomitant, stuttering behaviors can include body movements (e.g., head nodding, leg tapping, fist clenching), facial grimaces (e.g., eye blinking, jaw tightening), and distracting sounds (e.g., throat clearing). For an accurate evaluation, it is ideal to collect samples of speech across various situations and tasks, both inside and outside the clinical setting (Yaruss, 1997). Davidow, J. H., & Scott, K. A. See ASHAs resource on treatment goals for fluency disorders in the context of the WHO ICF framework. Temperamental characteristics of young children who stutter.

Studies of cluttering: Perceptions of cluttering by speech-language pathologists and educators. Empirical research on whether bilingual individuals who stutter are more disfluent in one language than the other is sparse and based on small case studies (Tellis & Tellis, 2003), but many bilingual individuals who stutter report this to be the case (Nwokah, 1988).

In fact, stuttering can affect all areas of academic competency, including academic learning, social-emotion functioning, and independent functioning (Ribbler, 2006, p. 15). Unlike stuttering, there are no data regarding age since onset and long-term outcomes of cluttering. SIG 4 Perspectives on Fluency and Fluency Disorders. Treatment approaches that incorporate support activities also can provide venues to practice learned strategies in a safe environment and help promote generalization. These should be considered during differential diagnosis but should not be the sole therapeutic strategies. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfludis.2017.06.001.

Speech, Language and Hearing, 20(3), 144153. Onset may be progressive or sudden. Bilingual children who stutter typically do so in both languages (Nwokah, 1988; Van Borsel et al., 2001). This includes the impact on functional communication in key school situations and on quality of life (Beilby et al., 2012b; Yaruss et al., 2012). Psychology Press. In general, the earlier preschool stuttering is addressed (relative to its onset), the easier it is to manage (Onslow & OBrian, 2012). Building trust by following the students lead, finding out what experiences may be motivating, and bringing together peers for support are treatment options to consider (Hearne et al., 2008). Neurophysiological factors that are thought to contribute to stuttering include the following: These neurophysiological findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small number of subjects and the heterogeneity of the methodologies used. Stuttering: Research and therapy. Van Borsel, J., Maes, E., & Foulon, S. (2001). On the other hand, stuttering symptoms may decrease in more comfortable situations.

Such individuals may benefit from treatment strategies that focus on improving speech efficiency by reducing word avoidance and increasing spontaneity in communication. The role of effortful control in stuttering severity in children: Replication study. Operant approaches operate within a framework of stuttering as a learned behavior (for a discussion, see Conture, 2001; de Sonneville-Koedoot et al., 2015, p. 334; Onslow & Yaruss, 2007). Group experiences and individual differences in stuttering. This list is not exhaustive, and not all factors need to be present for a referral to an SLP (e.g., Guitar, 2019; Yaruss et al., 1998). Journal of Fluency Disorders, 54, 1423. For example, clinicians may use treatment strategies to reduce bullying through desensitization exercises and by educating the individuals peers about stuttering (W. P. Murphy et al., 2007a, 2007b). Guilford Press. Estimates report that 1.5% of school-age children who are hard of hearing also stutter, which is similar to the estimates of older elementary students who stutter (Arenas et al., 2017). Screening is conducted whenever a fluency disorder is suspected or as part of a comprehensive speech and language assessment. Identifying correlates of self-stigma in adults who stutter: Further establishing the construct validity of the Self-Stigma of Stuttering Scale (4S). Rather, the purpose is to determine the extent and impact of the fluency disorder on the individual, the potential benefit from treatment, and the individuals desire and willingness to change. sex of childboys are at higher risk for persistence of stuttering than girls (Craig et al., 2002; Yairi & Ambrose, 2013); family history of persistent stuttering (Kraft & Yairi, 2011); time duration of greater than 612 months since onset or no improvement over several months (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005); age of onsetchildren who start stuttering at age 3 years or later (Yairi & Ambrose, 2005); and.

This course presents the most up-to-date evidence regarding the identification and management of atypical disfluency. the asha leader; journals. 115134). Clinicians also should attempt to better understand how the person experiences the moments before, during, and after stuttering.

Cluttering and Down syndrome. Additionally, there is no documented recovery from cluttering; therefore, duration since onset does not seem to apply as a risk factor. facilitates conversations between the individual and their family about the experience of stuttering, the individuals communication expectations, their life goals, and how to holistically support communication (see, e.g., Berquez & Kelman, 2018; Millard et al., 2018; Rocha et al., 2019). Plural. The epidemiology of cluttering with stuttering. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering. Their description details the characteristics of each stage, along with treatment goals and processes appropriate for each stage. Fluency disorders can interfere with play, school, work, or social interactions (Yaruss & Quesal, 2004). Yaruss, J. S., Quesal, R. W., & Reeves, L. (2007). For a discussion of a process for selecting evidence-based approaches based on individual needs, see Yaruss and Pelczarski (2007). 155192). The prevalence rate of stuttering in African American children (25 years of age) was estimated to be 2.52%, but was not reported to not be significantly different from that reported for European American children in the same age group between 2- to 5-year-old African American children and European American children (Proctor et al., 2008). Atypical disfluencies are generally not seen in the majority of children with developmental stuttering (child onset fluency disorder). The ASHA Leader, 11(10), 621. Myers, F. L. (1992). Increased incidence of stuttering has been noted among those with a first-degree relative (e.g., parent, sibling) who stutters and an even greater likelihood if that relative is an identical twin (Kraft & Yairi, 2011). Parents of Preschoolers Parents of school-age children Just for Kids Teens Adults Teachers SLPs Physicians Employers News and Blog February 7, 2023 Grace in Advocacy For example, stuttering has been associated with higher levels of social anxiety in adults who stutter (Blumgart et al., 2010), and this can lead to fear and avoidance of social interaction (see Craig & Tran, 2006, for a review research on this topic). The scope of this page includes stuttering and cluttering across the life span.

For example, cluttering symptoms may decrease during a formal speech evaluationdue to increased self-monitoringbut increase in more comfortable situations where the person is less likely to self-monitor. Stuttering typically has its origins in childhood. Some adults lack communication confidence as a result of negative self-perceptions about their stuttering (Beilby et al., 2012a) or due to repeated exposure to people holding stereotypes about stuttering, which, in turn, may create self-stigmatization (Boyle, 2013a).

The dysfluencies that render concerns of Childhood Onset Stuttering are different than typical disfluencies. Mindfulness is an intentional awareness of the present moment (e.g., through meditation) to help disengage from automatic thoughts and redirect attention, de-escalate emotions, and increase self-acceptance (Boyle, 2011; Harley, 2018). Miller, W. R., & Rollnick, S. (2013). Structural and functional abnormalities of the motor system in developmental stuttering. Following are descriptions of each of these forms of disfluency. Disclosure of stuttering and quality of life in people who stutter. Stuttering is often more severe when there is increased pressure to communicate (e.g., competing for talk time, giving a report at school, talking on the telephone/during a video chat, or interviewing for a job). School-based SLPs and IEP teams should resist pressure to minimize the impact of stuttering on educational achievement for the purpose of disqualifying students from speech-language pathology services. ), More than fluency: The social, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of stuttering (pp. Clinicians and parents also look for reactions, such as avoidance of words or speaking situations, increased physical tension or secondary behaviors, reduced utterance length, or slight changes in pitch or loudness during stuttering episodes. Improvements in fluency may generalize spontaneously from a treated language to an untreated language in bilingual speakers (Roberts & Shenker, 2007).

Some examples of these are to openly discuss experiences with stuttering (from the client and the clinician with pseudostuttering or as described by previous clients who stutter) and model pseudostuttering and techniques, attitudes, and beliefs across speaking situations (Manning & Quesal, 2016; Watson, 1988). Potential neurological underpinnings of cluttering include dysregulation of the anterior cingulate cortex and the supplementary motor area (Alm, 2011) as well as increased activity in the basal ganglia and premotor cortex (Ward et al., 2015). ), Cluttering: Research, intervention and education (pp. Fluency Disorders (Practice Portal). Assessing bilingual children: Are their disfluencies indicative of stuttering or the by-product of navigating two languages? In R. Lees & C. Stark (Eds.
