At HCRI, stuttering therapy represents a specific combination of advanced behavioral and computer technologies that enhance the learning and retention of fluent speech. 98% of HCRI program graduates say they would recommend this advanced stuttering therapy program to others who stutter. For many HCRI graduates, stuttering therapy is a one-time experience as fluency has replaced stuttering and continued therapy is not necessary. For persons who wish to have post-therapy support, HCRI offers a variety of services, including FluencyNet

The whole story on stuttering and other speech problems. Includes a look at why kids have speech problems, how they can be treated, and what it's like to live with one.
http://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/sight/stuttering.html

Extractions: These are some of the things that kids say when they describe how it feels to stutter. In other words, they know what they want to say, but the words just don't come out smoothly. Kids who stutter will repeat a word or a sound or drag out part of a word. Other kids may have problems with certain sounds. For instance, "Ss" and "Zs" are tough for a kid who has a lisp. Someone who lisps says the "th" sound when they mean to use an "s" or "z" sound. Other kids have trouble only with words that have "Rs" in them. But whatever the speech problem, there is help available. What Are Stuttering and Speech Problems? As human beings, we have the special ability to share our thoughts by talking. We start by forming a thought in our brains In the brain, this thought is changed into a code we've learned called language. Once the thought is coded into language, the brain sends a message to the muscles that control speech, telling them to move and make the right sounds come out. Then the mouth, face, neck
Stuttering And The Valsalva Mechanism: Introduction

http://members.aol.com/wdparry/valsalva.htm

Extractions: The Valsalva Stuttering Network Home Introduction Articles Links ... Forum By William D. Parry, Esq. Founder, Philadelphia Area Chapter of the National Stuttering Association Why is stuttering usually worst when the words are most important? This article shows how a natural bodily function - the Valsalva mechanism - may turn our efforts to speak into the very blocks we are trying so hard to avoid. It explains how a combination of physical and psychological factors may trap us in a "Valsalva-Stuttering Cycle" - a vicious circle that may trigger and perpetuate stuttering, as well as sabotaging our efforts at fluency maintenance. (For further information, see Understanding and Controlling Stuttering: A Comprehensive New Approach Based on the Valsalva Hypothesis. It is a great honor to be invited to speak at this World Congress in Sweden. As you know, I come from the United States, where I lead the Philadelphia Area Chapter of the National Stuttering Project. By profession, I am a lawyer. But the great obsession of my life has been the mystery of stuttering - a condition with which I have struggled since I was four years old. Over the years, I submitted to a wide range of therapies, without lasting success. Finally, about fifteen years ago, I gave up on therapy altogether and began doing my own research into the problem.
Stuttering John
List of questions that John has asked in an actual celebrity interview and related links.
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3708/john.html

Extractions: © Dan Wagner 1998 The reason why I created this website many years ago was quite simple: Being pretty new to the internet, I wanted to make a homepage, like most people do. The question was, what about? After typing "Stuttering John" into the search engine, I found that not only was there not an official site, but no fan sites either. So I gathered my "collection" of Stuttering John questions, thus this page was born. And it wasn't long before the website visitors to this page emailed even more questions to me. Eventually, John did get his own official site up at www.stutteringjohn.com, but the only content was information on his CD. Now that has changed. He has a fantastic site now, most notably a section with his favorite interview questions. I'm guessing that most of you have seen it. If not, go to www.stutteringjohn.com It's definitely alot more entertaining and interesting hearing it straight from the horses f-f-friggin mouth. Ah, Stuttering John. You have to love this man. Who else would have the guts to verbally terrorize celebrities with outrageous questions, all for the sake of the Howard Stern show. John has been screamed at, punched, pushed, shoved, elbowed, spit on, slapped in the face, picked up, thrown out, and pushed down a flight of stairs. Yet he continues to do his most fantastic and important job in the world...BRINGING DOWN HOTSHOT CELEBRITIES A NOTCH OR TWO. Below is a list of some of the great questions that Howard, Jackie and Fred came up with to have Stuttering John ask his unwitting victims.

Extractions: Main Men's Mental Health htmlAdWH('7002568', '234', '60'); The Valsalva Stuttering Network Home Introduction Articles Links ... Forum Bill Parry's Stuttering Links Stuttering (sometimes called "stammering") is a specific kind of disfluency, in which the flow of speech tends to be involuntarily disrupted by forceful closures of the mouth or larynx, by repetitions or prolongations of sounds and syllables, or by hesitations or delays in making voiced sounds. Stuttering generally involves an excessive amount of effort, force, and struggle in the attempt to speak. It also may be accompanied by a variety of behaviors intended to avoid, postpone, or hide the blocks. Stuttering, while not the worst of handicaps, certainly can be one of the most frustrating. Unlike other disabilities, stuttering has the mystifying and maddening habit of coming and going. Even if you stutter badly, chances are that you will be perfectly fluent when singing, talking in unison with other people, and in certain speaking situations. You may do a great job acting out a role on stage, but not be able to say your name when asked. You may begin telling a joke with perfect fluency, but not be able to deliver the punch line. You may have long stretches of fluency when it really doesn't matter. Then, just when the words are most important, stuttering jumps out of the closet and pins your speech to the ground. This website is devoted to exploring the puzzle of stuttering, the factors that may cause or perpetuate it, and what we might do to control or alleviate it through therapy or self help. We are also interested in encouraging self-esteem and acceptance for persons who stutter, fighting discrimination, and educating the public about this often misunderstood condition.

Extractions: Van Riper(stutterer)defines stuttering-Stuttering occurs when the forward flow of speech is interupted abnormally by repetitions or prolongations of sounds, syllables, articulatory posture, or by avoidable struggle behaviors. The Learning Theory of stuttering development was proposed be Wendell Johnson. He felt that people only stutter because the LEARN it through a cycle of negative reactions and anxiety. 1. Child learns language rapidly. 2. Child tries to formulate a message with the right words. 3. If the child is nervous or excited there is an increased chance of dysfluency. 4. After the child is dysfluent, he/she receives a negative reaction from the listener such as, "Slow down" or, "Take a deep breath." 5. Child develops struggle behaviors to get through dysfluencies. 6. Child receives a negative reaction for the struggle behaviors. 7. Child develops increased anxiety.

Extractions: IT'S NOT EASY BEING STUTTERING JOHN. HE NO SOONER SITS down to sign copies of his latest LP, Everybody's Normal but Me, at an HMV music store in midtown Manhattan than the third guy on line starts busting his balls. The guy has a tape recorder and claims to be from a college radio station. He wants to do a quick interview. "Do you think this album is going to go aluminum?" he barks. "Do you stutter when you snore? Does stuttering help when you're performing oral sex?" John just smiles, sighs, and signs the next CD. How else can he react? For the past ten years, in the service of Howard Stern's radio and television shows, John has crashed parties, openings, and press conferences armed with a microphone, a camera, and a list of rude, crude questions with which he ambushes unsuspecting celebrities. Their responses are a litmus test of sorts. Some ignore him. Some good naturedly hang in there and answer. Then again, some assault John. John reels off his war stories. "Morton Downey-hit me and I fell off a chair. Eric Bogosian-I asked him if there was going to be a Talk Radio 2 and he grabbed me by the neck. Lou Reed-I was backstage at the Bob Dylan tribute at Madison Square Garden and all I asked him was 'Do you still masturbate?' and he didn't say anything, he just started choking me." Then there was Raquel Welch. John nabbed her coming out of an, auction at Christie's. She was striding briskly to her limo and John was right at her side.

Extractions: Full PDF (72 KB) Version Stuttering Even though many well-respected people have a history of stuttering, including actress Marilyn Monroe, actor Bruce Willis and singer Carly Simon, the speech condition has had a bad rap. Many people have long blamed emotional or personality factors as the cause and believed that it could be easily overcome with a change in attitude. But now accumulating research indicates that stuttering actually erupts from disturbances in brain function. The new work, based on studies that image the brain, finds that brain anatomy and brain activity is awry in stutterers. Methods that counter these biological disturbances might mend the underlying deficits and treat a large number of people. Many people have assumed that nerves or some flaw in disposition causes stuttering speech, characterized by awkward pauses, dragging out parts of words and repeating certain sounds. Their solution? Snap out of it. But now a spate of recent scientific studies provides evidence that this simplistic view is false. Stuttering appears to erupt from an array of troubles in the brain. The insight is leading to:
