או נכון יותר – מה זאת בעיית שטף הדיבור?
(Stammer) וחזרה על הברות ומילים (הגמגום), דיבור מהיר וחטוף (clutter) החלפת מילים וכדומה. מכיוון שהתקשורת הבין-אישית הינה חלק מהותי ויסודי מחייו וחוויותיו של האדם, הרי שלפגיעה ביכולת זו יש פוטנציאל לגרום לקשיים חברתיים ופסיכולוגיים וללחצים ומתחים קשים אצל האדם המגמגם.
מה זה - עיצוב שטף הדיבור?
שיטת הטיפול בגמגום של מכון ד''ר פלואנסי מבוססת על הגישה הטיפולית הידועה ובעלת השם של פרופסור רונלד וובסטר מווירג'יניה, ארה''ב, וד''ר רוברט קרול מטורונטו, קנדה - אשר הביא את השיטה לארץ ומלווה את המכון לאורך השנים.

What is actually the principle of the method that overcomes stuttering?
At the Dr. Fluency Institute, people are treated with a special method based on the method Precision Fluency Shaping, which was originally developed to improve speech fluency. This method was invented in the 1970s by Professor Webster from Virginia and brought to Israel by Prof. Carroll, the pioneers of the method in the world.
The Precision Fluency Shaping, method of speech fluency teaches the person suffering from stuttering to speak again and maintain a continuous and clear speech fluency. The starting point for the method was that since stuttering is also due to stress, first of all this stress must be prevented and relieved, the person must be taught to breathe correctly again, to produce sounds and syllables again, to start taking the first and correct steps in speaking, without developed stuttering habits delaying or hindering him in speaking.
The problem with the method was that it did not provide tools to preserve the results over days and years by continuing using the method of speech one learned correctly and most importantly accurate practice. And it did not teach the person, who suffers from stuttering, how to deal with the real world that awaits him outside.
And so one of the graduates of the treatment of the speech flow design method who went through the treatment at Hadassah Ein Kerem in the 1990s came to the conclusion that a new method should be invented which would be based on close clinical supervision and daily practice at home with the help of a special computer program developed for this purpose and from then until today Dr. Fluency is the Number one solution for those suffering speech fluency disorders!
Fluency of speech - now there is hope!
The person suffering from stuttering often does not know at all that what really hinders his speech is not the stuttering but the speech flow disorder of which the stuttering is only a side effect. Along with the stuttering, the hero's fluency disorder has many side effects, such as prolonging syllables and sounds and pressing them, speaking fast in order to say everything before stuttering, swallowing sounds, syllables or words to "avoid" stuttering , quiet and mumbled speech, avoidance and shortening of speech, etc. These phenomena are very difficult and embarrassing especially for those who suffer from stuttering.
Stuttering to psychological problems
Stuttering or disturbances in speech flow begin with speech but lead to problems that cause the person who stutters to have a low self-esteem, avoid communicative situations or communication in general, and isolate him from society.
For this reason it was common in the past to identify stutterers with psychological problems and they were treated by psychologists, but today it is understood that the psychological problems of the person who stutters are caused by the stuttering and not the other way around.
The person is stuck in a horrendous chain of events - in order to overcome the embarrassing and frustrating stuttering he gets stressed and thus his speech difficulties get worse. He may move his legs and arms because of the stress while trying to get one complete sentence out but gets stuck, which makes it even more difficult. You can see how this is the slippery slope a PWS faces daily.
Today there is hope for people with fluency disorders. Dr. Fluency's method that produces excellent results for people who suffer from disfluency providing them a way to control how they speak
and not allowing how they speak control them.
