A child exhibited five disfluencies per 100 words. This indicated that this individual: a. Is speaking within normal limits b. Is speaking with a fluency rate above average c. Should be enrolled in treatment d. Is showing mild stuttering characteristics
What is A. Within normal limits 5 disfluencies per 100 words is considered within normal limits. A child who exhibits 10 or more disfluencies per 100 words is considered to be at risk for difficulties.

What is B. Levator veil palatine The elevator veil palatine, displaced the soft palate posteriorly and superiorly to affect velopharyngeal closure during speech.

Analysis of epidemiology research on stuttering indicates that _________ is the variable that affects the true understanding of the prevalence and incidence of stuttering. a. duration b. the number of new cases c. normal fluency development d. child development
What is A. Duration There is no universal measure by which parents and researchers define "duration" therefore, duration truly influences the interpretation of research data and information about the development of stuttering.
