Stuttering and speech therapy ideas

Written by The Art of Health

Part 1 – General Overview

What is stuttering?

Stuttering (or stammering) is a voice disfluency, a speech disorder. When a person stutters, repparttar normal flow of speech is disrupted by repetitions and/or prolongations of voice sounds. Frequently, an individual is also unable to start a word.

Child stuttering, toddler stuttering and adult stuttering are themes being studied by many scientists and speech specialists all around repparttar 142382 world. The Stuttering Foundation of America, repparttar 142383 National Stuttering Association, repparttar 142384 National Center for Stuttering and individual speech therapists in general are all investigating why people stutter and finding effective and fast speech therapies.

Nevertheless, even though scientists have several theories and suspect a variety of causes for stuttering, repparttar 142385 precise mechanisms causing this disability (also called stammering) are not understood. Some believe that many forms have genetic origins.

A common form of stuttering is neurogenic. Neurogenic stuttering arise from signal problems between repparttar 142386 brain and nerves or muscles. In neurogenic stuttering, repparttar 142387 brain is unable to adequately coordinate repparttar 142388 different components of speech mechanism.

The disruptions of speech may be accompanied by tremors of repparttar 142389 lips and/or jaw, rapid eye blinks and other movements. This disorder commonly becomes more severe when speaking in front of a group of people or on repparttar 142390 phone. On repparttar 142391 other hand, speaking alone and singing might generally improve it or disappear completely.
