Voluntary stuttering can be useful in desensitization both to the actual stuttering behavior and to aversive listener reactions.
true
false
The shaping of normally fluent speech would include all of the following EXCEPT:
Establishing normal breath flow
Light contact
Slowing rate
Using preparatory sets and pull-outs
In the Lidcombe program, parents:
Reinforce fluent speech during structured and unstructured activities using verbal contigencies
Use cancellations, pull-outs, and preparatory sets
Use light articulatory contact, easy onsets, and continuous phonation
Use more requests for correction than praise
Those who emphasize "Fluency Shaping" would give very little attention to teaching the person who stutters to use ___________________ to achieve fluency:
Cancellations
Light articulatory contact
Slow rate
Easy onsets
Before the client is ready to work on "preparatory sets" they must already have succeeded with pull-outs.
true
false
Desensitization generally begins with situations that are most aversive and stressful, then gradually works backward to situations that are least aversive and stressful.
true
false
Persons who stutter often experience more severe disfluency when they:
sing
are in a stressful situation
use delayed auditory feedback
all of the above
Which of the following is arranged from least to most severe?
repeating, blocking, fixating
repeating, blocking, prolonging
fixating, repeating, prolonging
repeating, prolonging, blocking
repeating, avoiding, struggling
During cancellation, the client should immediately stop at the first sign of stuttering, then say the word as easily and fluently as possible.
true
false
Modification techniques should be taught to the client in the following order:
Pull-Out --> Preparatory Set --> Cancellation
Cancellation --> Pull-Out --> Preparatory Set
Preparatory Set --> Cancellation --> Pull Out
Cancellation --> Preparatory Set --> Pull Out
Pull-Out --> Cancellation --> Preparatory Set
A major end-product of therapy for the adult Stage IV (advanced) stutterer is to achieve speech which is free of tension, struggle and avoidance.
true
false
In the Identification Stage of stuttering modification therapy, identification is directed toward:
core features
associated feelings and attitudes
secondary features
all of the above
An example of a secondary behavior is:
Repeating a sound
Getting stuck on a sound
Attending a stuttering support group
Avoiding answering the phone
Which statement is true
Blocks are typically an early stuttering behavior
Mild stuttering is often accompanied by increased physical tension
Escape and avoidance emerge in borderline stuttering
Sound repetitions are also known as part-word repetitions
Which child is at the greatest risk for persistent stuttering
3 year old female, 6 months post onset, no family history
4 year old female, 12 months post onset, mother stuttered as a child but doesn't anymore
4 year old male, 14 months post onset, uncle stutters, phonological delay
2.5 year old male, 6 months post onset, whole word repetitions, no family history
In a child with typical disfluencies, we see:
sound prolongations
blocks
increased physical tension
part-word repetitions
revisions
In the following example, we see evidence of:
"I wa-wa-wa-want to go t-t-t-t-to the uh store now
Part-word repetition, interjection
revision
sound and syllable repetition
whole word repetition and revision
A client reads a passage aloud and stutters on the same words each time. This is known as:
anticipation

none of the above
I want to pur-pur-pur...buy a new tablet
starter
postponement
substitution
circumlocution
Which statement is false of fluency disorders
Stuttering can start suddenly and come and go over a period of time
The first core behavior to develop is typically part-word and whole word repetitions
We target speaking with controlled fluency to lessen the severity of the stutter
Stuttering arises from typical disfluencies
