Is there a cure for stuttering?
Unless detected and treated early, in children between ages 3 and 10, there is no cure for stuttering. However, there is effective stuttering treatment available for individuals and children who stutter. Children who stutter can learn to manage/control their dysfluencies successfully, and lead a normal life unaffected.Clinical difference between stuttering treatments: Traditional vs Concentrated.
Based on clinical data, the most effective stuttering treatments are the concentrated (intensive) programs. The difference is major. Traditional stuttering therapy is typically applied in timed hourly sessions. The process is outdated and lengthy, requiring months of therapy that eventually becomes diluted and ineffective resulting in low retention levels.
In comparison, the Concentrated method of the Apex™ Speech Care System stuttering treatment has unmatched features:
- Highest retention level: 83%-94%.
- Shortest application time: Completion in one week.
- Maintenance & Support: Unlimited lifetime.
- Multi directional treatment: Speech Fluency- Neurological- Psychological.
- Bi-lingual treatment program: English & Spanish.
About the Condition:
Stuttering is a disorder in which fluent speech is interrupted by repetitions (e.g r-r-r-r-r-road), prolongation (e.g. rrrrrroad), and speech stoppages. (I.e. momentary cessation of vocalization). As the struggle for fluent speech production increases, extraneous gestures and facial movements surf ace, usually, drawing unease and negative reactions from others.
The stage at which a child should be treated:
When you have your first doubt about your child's speech and language development, it is best to immediately consult a specially trained speech-language pathologist. Waiting for your child to outgrow his/her dysfluencies may place him/ her at greater risk of developing a chronic condition of stuttering. Early childhood stuttering can be effectively treated.The cause of stuttering:
Currently, there is not a single, specific cause for stuttering. However, there are contributing factors that might place the child at risk of stuttering. They consist of the following:
- Family History of Stuttering.
- Generalized Delay in Development.
- Generalized irregular integration of speech and language information in the brain.
- Gender (males are much more prone to stuttering than females).
- Family Interaction.
The prevalence of stuttering among children:
Stuttering affects 5% of all children in their pre-teen years.Is emotional susceptibility the underlying cause of stuttering?
No. Children who stutter are no more emotionally susceptible than children who are fluent.
