Stuttering correction is one of the methods of correcting speech rhythm disorders, which poses a problem in relation to interpersonal communications.

General information

Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by frequent repetitions or prolongation of syllables, sounds or words. The main signs of the disease are also frequent pauses in speech, which lead to a break in its rhythm.

Procedure

Preparation

Initially, it is necessary to diagnose the disease by assessing the patient's condition, which consists of a series of various observations, tests and interviews. The doctor also evaluates risk factors, including:

  • duration of stuttering;
  • family history of this disease;
  • presence of other pronunciation disorders;
  • strong fear on the part of the child or family about the disease.

Stuttering correction

Doctors disagree regarding the methods of therapy. For effective treatment, a comprehensive approach is usually used, combining several different methods of stuttering correction, among which are:

  • psychological;
  • psychotherapeutic;
  • speech therapy;
  • logopsychotherapeutic;
  • sociorehabilitation;
  • physiotherapy;
  • medication;
  • non-traditional.

Rehabilitation period

Rehabilitation is not required. A repeat preventive course is possible.

Indications

The manipulation is indicated if the patient has:

  • prolongation of sounds;
  • repetition of words;
  • avoidance of communication;
  • tension of the muscles of the neck and face;
  • speech with sharp increases in voice volume.

Contraindications

Some types of correction may be contraindicated. This is determined by diagnostics, for example, based on the results of an encephalogram.

Complications

Treatment of adults is complicated by the presence of secondary symptoms associated with mental disorders (logophobia, a sense of inferiority, difficulties in building communicative relationships, etc.). Such people first need the help of a psychologist or psychotherapist.
