1. Chapter 8: What are the secondary/overt/concomitant stuttering behaviors that are audible? How would you go about treating a student that exhibited these behaviors? (Page 205)
In general, stuttering is a speech disorder that that is portrayed by two or more disturbances that can include silent blocks, sound prolongations, broken words, etc. Secondary/overt/concomitant stuttering behaviors occur as the individual is stuttering and are displayed as unnecessary sounds and facial/body movements such as the repetition of “um”, blinking of the eyes, and movement of body parts. Audible behaviors denote the stuttering behaviors that can be heard and are repeated one or more times and occur with tension. A few examples of audible stuttering …show more content…
The norm of a person includes age, gender, and geographic or cultural background. Individuals misusing their voice cause vocal nodules. It results in non-cancerous lesions of the vocal folds. Lesions occur when there is a pathological variation in tissue of a region. Most commonly, these nodules are bilateral; however there have been some cases of unilateral legions. Unilateral legions only occur on one side of the vocal folds. When the vocal folds are inspected, vocal nodules appear as white protuberances. Protuberances are bumps located on the edge of the vocal fold, they occur here since this is the location that endures the most shock during phonation. As a result of these nodules, the individual may have a raspy and breathy voice. Aperiodicity, vocal fold vibrations that are not the norm, is a result of the additional weight on the vocal folds. To treat someone with vocal nodules, voice therapy would be employed. This should be administered by an SLP for approximately 6-8 weeks. With the use of this therapy as well as psychological and counseling support, surgery is not often
