Workplace in fluency management: Factoring the workplace into fluency management. What we know for now IN BRIEF. Differences between children and adults should also be considered when interpreting data from neurological studies. The impact of fluency disorders often extends to social and vocational aspects of the individuals life. Moments of stuttering or disfluency may be difficult to distinguish from typical disfluency or reduced language proficiency, especially for a person unfamiliar with the language (Shenker, 2011). Regional cerebral blood flow is reduced in Brocas area, the region in the frontal lobes of the brain linked to speech production, and an inverse relationship was noted between the severity of stuttering and the rate of blood flow (Desai et al., 2016). Appropriate roles for SLPs include the following: As indicated in the ASHA Code of Ethics (ASHA, 2016a), SLPs who serve this population should be specifically educated and appropriately trained to do so. For example, when selecting reading passages, it may be difficult to determine the linguistic complexity of a text in a language unfamiliar to the clinician. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0094-730X(96)00024-1, Murphy, B., Quesal, R.

For students who stutter, the impact goes beyond the communication domain. Reasonable accommodations would vary by work setting and type of work. Cluttering and Down syndrome. 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). The dysfluencies that render concerns of Childhood Onset Stuttering are different than typical disfluencies. Desensitization can help decrease word avoidance and reduce fear. Many clinicians use an integration of approaches to achieve optimal outcomes. The lowest prevalence rates of stuttering were reported in adults aged 2150 years (0.78%) and adults aged 51 years or older (0.37%; Craig et al., 2002). 6989). To foster generalization, assignments adhere to a hierarchy of linguistic skills and environmental stressors. Fluency refers to continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production.

Alm, P. A. It is important to distinguish stuttering from other possible diagnoses (e.g., language formulation difficulties, cluttering, and reading disorders) and to distinguish cluttering from language-related difficulties (e.g., word finding and organization of discourse) and other disorders that have an impact on speech intelligibility (e.g., apraxia of speech and other speech sound disorders).
