Stuttering versus Cluttering ?
The clutterer vs. stutterer:
Treatment for stuttering disorder is not easy - since we don’t really know the cause for sure, we try to manipulate the speech production using: mind control/attitudes, changing the speech patterns (clinically proven to help a lot of patients!), changing breathing patterns( most beneficial to those patients that acquire hoarse voice due to their stuttering!), and teaching muscles relaxation.
Treatment for cluttering might be even harder and differs from treatment of stuttering. We typically will be working on awareness of the patient towards his speech problem , teaching oral-motor coordination exercises ( to stop the mumbling effect), teaching relaxation drills, emphasizing organizational language treatment, teaching memory strategies, teaching rate control techniques (clinically proven to help a lot of patients!).
