Acoustic Duration Changes Associated with Two Types of Treatment for Children Who Stutter.

Riley, Glyndon D.; Ingham, Janis Costello

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v43 n4 p965-78 Aug 2000

This study examined acoustic durations in 12 children (ages 3 to 9) who stuttered and received treatment based either on speech motor training (SMT) or extended length of utterance (ELU). Although the ELU treatment reduced stuttering more than the SMT, the SMT was more effective in increasing vowel duration and decreasing stop gap duration. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
