A simple and easy guide to manage stuttering. It is the road to resolving the problem.
Stuttering stands out among other competing books on stammer. The work explores various textbooks and eliminates unnecessary details on preliminary assessment, arguments towards the psychological nature of the disorder and practice settings which most of the time are verbose. But it combines all topics on the disorder's assessment, origin and nature in a brief but solid basis. Another area of uniqueness is the books direct focus on practical and functional applications rather than theoretical clinical addresses. That is why it is the most acceptable textbook on speech pathology, stuttering, fluency and audiology courses for both undergraduates and initial year graduate master’s degree programs. With the new features of this edition, Stuttering will continue to be the most popular book for speech therapists, to offer practical advice to parents, to be materials source for clinical presentations and for a personal easy to understand guide to recovery.
Excerpt
BREATHING plays a very important role in human speech. The speech organs and the participatory muscles in the respiratory system gradually release the air of our breath. The system is so efficient that there is usually no need to breathe in more rapidly to sustain our speech. This however is not to oversimplify the task of speaking. A lot of complex activities go on in our bodies unknown to us. They are natural and not burdensome. Yet the quality of speech is sometimes determined by the ability to control the breath. Conscious control of the breath is even more vital especially when there is a speech challenge or impediment. Some of these speech challenges are stammer, lisping, consonant issues, etc. In this program, we will be focusing mainly on stammer and how to stop it.
What is stammer? In the context of this course, stammer is the inability to coordinate the speech organs to say the first sound. This usually results in stopping and attempting to say the word several times before saying it correctly.
Stammer however, does not refer to any distortion of the organs of speech themselves.
These organs in most cases are in good working order. That is why it is no wonder that a stutterer may speak fluently on certain occasions, but dysfluently at others.
There is a gene for stammer recently discovered by some scientists around the year 2012. This means that stammer can be a family trait. But even in many families where some children show the trait, hardworking parents have been able to help such children to resolve the problem in them. This goes to show that even though stammer could be present in the gene, the environment to a large extent, level of anxiety and stress determine whether a person shows it or lives with the trait or not. Knowing what to do, consciously doing them, or having someone reminding us to do them are all actions that work against the stammer genetic traits.
