Speech Parameters
I am controlled by different parts. I am responsible for SHAPING voice into different sounds.
articulation
avoidance
Start speaking with less physical tension in your voice. Let out a "puff" of air before flowing into your words.
easy-onsets
Serena is anxious and worried.
Feelings
Speech Parameters
respiration, tongue, larynx, articulation
I am the most important articulator. You have a lot of control over me.
tongue
Kareena avoids eye contact when in a moment of stuttering.
escape
Complete the stuttered word. Repeat the word again with less tension. "How can I say the word differently?"
cancellation
Serena pretends she has lost her voice when it is her turn to speak.
behavioural response
Escape and avoidance
I am your voice box. I help you with giving your speech sound.
larynx
It helps Gerald to tap his leg on the ground when he is stuttering.
escape
Taking a short pause at natural breaks in speech. Allows for slowed speech and more time to prepare for what is going to be said.
chunking and pausing
Serena's body starts to get hot. She is sweating and can feel her heart pounding.
bodily sensations
Fluency Strategies
cancellation, easy-onsets, chunking and pausing, block outs
My primary function is for breathing but I also help with how much air you need when you speak. I get my power from my lungs.

Trey will email his boss instead of calling him.
avoidance
block outs
Serena thinks: They will think I am dumb because I take so long to speak.
thoughts
CBT model
