Example text

One of the novelties of the new equipment was the ability to listen to the record­ ing while it was being taped. Lee tested the new tape recorder by taping his own voice. One day, he mistakenly placed the input for his headset in the wrong jack. Lee noticed his mistake when he lis­ tened to the words he was speaking, and found that he had developed a stutter. The newly developed stutter of Lee was not due to a mistake in the machine recording his voice; he truly had developed a stutter. Lee soon found that the jack he had plugged his headset into caused a short delay in sound transmission from the microphone and the tape he was using to record to the headset he was using to listen to his voice.

It has been proposed that speaking with a metronome is a distrac­ tion that decreases the anticipatory anxiety associated with stutter­ ing, and hence the anxiety-fueled exacerbations of stuttering. A metronome is commonly used in speech therapy. Speaking alone, that is, without an audience, also improves flu­ ency. Speaking in front of an audience exacerbates stuttering because the reactions of the audience can decrease the individual’s perception of fluency. Moreover, people who stutter tend to believe they stutter more than they actually do, and this perception fuels anticipatory anxiety.

This art requires face-to-face evalua­ tion with the family and is the reason to seek treatment advice from a professional. Once a definitive diagnosis of developmental stuttering is made, treatment can begin. The treatment goals of developmen­ tal stuttering are twofold: to decrease the amount of stuttering and to decrease the amount of anticipatory anxiety. Treatment of devel­ opmental stuttering follows a two-pronged approach because the severity of dysfluency and anticipatory anxiety are not directly related to each other.
