If we are talking about children who have been diagnosed as suffering from any speech disorder: rapid speech, stuttering, etc., starting at the age of 7, the best method to treat them is to make them forget everything they know about speech and this is Dr. Fluency's successful method. A scientifically proven stuttering treatment method. At ages 3-5, the Lidcombe method is the most effective and you can consult with a qualified clinician who has undergone special training in the method. Since it is about speech and communication, it is known that in the case of stuttering in children, many children who suffer from stuttering or from another speech disorder and are aware of it, avoid speaking, inventing all kinds of techniques to "escape" the failure to speak, from skipping words to swallowing words and more. All these "snappers" are engraved not only in the lack of fluency of speech of those who suffer from that stuttering but also in their emotional memory. When a child has insecurity about his speech and a feeling of failure, he will never be able to speak unless he manages to erase the feeling of failure and the bitter memory that accompanies his attempts to speak. This is exactly what Dr. Fluency's method does. This is a method that works together with a special tablet with the help of which the patient learns to breathe again, pronounce letters and speak as if he were a child who had just acquired his first words. The new speech that comes from a place free from failure, is the one that succeeds in helping children overcome stuttering and be able to speak without pressure, breathe in the middle and discover that it is possible to start and finish a sentence... Stuttering in children - now there is a solution! Stuttering in children Stuttering in children appears in about 20% of children aged 2-4 who suffer from a lack of fluency in speech. The vigilance of the caregivers may prevent the problem from becoming a chronic problem. Stuttering in children is often a lack of fluency in speech in children, in many cases related to the control and acquisition of the language and for that reason in 80% of these children, the problem will pass within a period of six months, while 20% of them will continue to suffer from a problem in speech fluency that will turn out to be a chronic problem. For this reason, it is recommended that in any case where there is a speech disorder or stuttering in children, a consultation with a speech therapist should be sought to understand the nature of the disorder, its origin, and whether it may go away. It is very difficult to predict if the stuttering will become a chronic problem, but it should be noted that the sooner the problem is treated, the more it will be possible to understand what you are dealing with exactly as the problem should be treated. Stuttering in a relaxed environment for a child who stutters! One of the things that causes a child to be embarrassed by his stuttering or to feel embarrassed and ashamed, is the behavior of the environment. Some children are aware of their stuttering and some are not. Those who are aware suffer from this, make an effort to speak and overcome the problem and enter into a whirlwind of convulsions, body or facial movements and pressure to get the words out and finish a sentence. It is very important not to make the stuttering a problem in front of the child, not to let him feel embarrassed or a failure, not to pressure him to speak correctly, not to teach him to speak correctly (because if he knew how to speak correctly he would do so) and to approach a professional therapeutic agent qualified to treat stuttering and above all Stuttering in children. What are the causes of stuttering in children? The stuttering issue is still not resolved. Professionals in the field do not know what causes stuttering. Some researchers believe that it is a collection of genetic, environmental, and also neurophysiological causes. It is known that 60% of children who stutter have other people in the family who suffer from stuttering. One thing is clear, this is not a psychological or mental problem as the therapists believed for many years and as stuttering was defined in the disease book. Since people who suffer from stuttering develop emotional problems due to the stuttering, they tended to attribute emotional and psychological disorders to stuttering, but the opposite is true. Stuttering in children creates emotional problems and they are not the ones who created the stuttering.. for a free compatibility check So how do you overcome stuttering? rehabilitation process for the speech system which will teach us again how to control the system and how not to let stuttering dictate the way we produce speech, what I say and our life in general.

When the child continues to stutter after this age, it is probably a chronic stuttering that requires professional treatment by someone authorized for this. For many years, studies were conducted on stuttering in adults, including people who suffer from stuttering. In neurological brain scans of adults who stutter and those who do not, which were conducted as part of the research, a number of variables were discovered that are specific to people who stutter: • When stuttering, there is increased activity in the right lobe of the brain compared to the left lobe, which accelerates its activity when emotion is added to stuttering. • In adults who do not stutter when speaking, there is hyperactivity in the left lobe. • It was thought that the increased use when speaking in right lobe stutterers may be due to defects in the speech area of the left lobe. • Another possibility that came up is that the overactivity in the right lobe stems from the stutterer's active emotions and not necessarily from the stuttering. • Adult stutterers cannot feel the muscles that activate speech during speech effort and therefore have no ability to compare if they are activating them correctly. • A study was done that focused on the anatomical area in the brain responsible for hearing. From the conclusions it emerged that in stutterers this area is larger in the right lobe than in the left (as in most people). • In adults who stutter, overactivity of the area responsible for controlling the motor activity of speech was discovered, i.e. (vocal cords, breathing, tongue, lips, jaw). • In various imaging studies conducted on adults who suffer from stuttering, it was found that reduced blood flow to various areas of the brain was demonstrated, and there is a possibility that it also contributes to stuttering. • It was found that in people who do not stutter when asked to perform a certain action, their tension increased and a 4% speech disorder was created. • Under stress in stutterers, 9 times more speech disorders were found. • has a circular pattern of stuttering. Disruption in the first syllable of the first word, speaking in sequence, the speech is interrupted by another stutter and repeats, God forbid. The emotional aspect of Dr. Fluency's speech design method! It is known that overcoming problems often requires from the people who experience a certain difficulty, the ability to put the difficulties behind them and open a new page, especially when treating a stuttering problem in adults. This is especially true when it comes to a speech disorder. When the person suffering from a stuttering problem knows and understands that he has difficulty speaking, this fact in itself puts pressure on him and creates tension in him, every time he opens his mouth. This is a normal phenomenon and not only in speech, a person who suffers from any limitation and is aware of it, will sometimes find it difficult to overcome it just because of the knowledge that it exists. When it comes to speech fluency, the ability to overcome the "trauma" that was created is, in our opinion at the Dr. Fluency Institute, the first condition for the stutterer to overcome the stutter. Along with Dr. Fluency's tablet, which was developed for the practice of the person who stutters, there is a series of pronunciation, breathing and relaxation classes that give the person the opportunity to learn to speak again and especially differently. When speech is learned differently, you can put aside the difficult experiences and speech traumas and really start speaking again without stuttering With a scientifically proven stuttering treatment method, emphasizing the emotional aspects arising from the difficulty in speaking and dealing with them, we will learn to overcome the stuttering. With Dr. Fluency's unique treatment method, we not only learn to speak again and how to speak fluently, but also how to deal with the difficulty and fear of speaking and get used to speaking in any everyday situation without fear and fluently!!!. for a free compatibility check So how do you overcome stuttering? rehabilitation process for the speech system which will teach us again how to control the system and how not to let stuttering dictate the way we produce speech, what I say and our life in general.

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. What is Dr. Fluency's method? 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!

- Stuttering what is it? How do you treat | ד"ר פלואנסי

Stuttering what is it? How do you treat With the understanding that a person suffering from stuttering or another speech disorder does not suffer from emotional problems, but that they arise as a result of the stuttering, the therapists realized that in order for him not to suffer from the emotional problems, the stuttering must be treated. The success of the stuttering treatment will lead him to overcome all the problems created because of the stuttering. But to her and a thorn in her. One of the problems of people who stutter is that they often fail to speak from the habit that is ingrained in them, from the memory of their failed speech, so how can one learn to speak without entering again into the same vicious circle of severe feelings of failure? Stuttering - what exactly is it and how is it treated? Many years ago, stuttering was diagnosed as a psychological problem. People who stutter turned to psychologists to "solve" the psychological problems that caused them to stutter. This was the approach of medicine towards the field of stuttering, which of course did not contribute anything to the community of stutterers but caused further serious frustrations because the problem, from the beginning, was not a psychological problem at all. On the contrary, it is the disturbance in the flow of speech that causes psychological problems and then, it can worsen following the psychological state of the person suffering from it. The psychological problems of people who stutter! Dr. Fluency's method of treating stuttering is imparting a new fluency of speech, based on new learning of breathing, pronunciation and practice with a special tablet. The patient is required to forget everything he knows about speech (and therefore will not fail because he will not use his speech memory). He learns to breathe again, and slowly and gradually learns to pronounce words without stress, until he manages to pronounce them, and gradually gains confidence (because for the first time he manages to pronounce whole words without getting stuck...). This is how he learns, like a baby learning his first steps to acquire a new, different speech, without fail. Without the mistakes of the past, without the stuttering, without the speech disorder and above all controlled speech that does not get stuck. Even if an old jam comes up, the ability to correct and continue talking without those around even noticing that it happened will be in the patient's hands. The next step is correct and consistent practice of the correct speech tools he learned in order to preserve the results over days and years, as well as learning the ways of applying the "new speech" in all the different speech situations. This is with personal guidance from a person who has gone through the treatment himself and knows what needs to be faced and what is needed to overcome the obstacles, mainly with the help of cognitive-behavioral therapy in which by the process of dealing with the stressful situations caused by the speech fluency disorder over the years, and a change in the balance of successes/failures Experience the victories - the victory of the method over the stuttering. Imagine a person who knows he has a disability, and some other disability. He can't speak fluently. Every person who suffers from some abnormality often chooses to distance himself from society, feeling rejected and unworthy because of his difference. Speech is our only means of communication. Therefore, when a person suffers from a speech problem and fails to speak, he fails to produce communication, does not produce communication, knows that he does not produce communication and then does not try to produce it either. He finds ways to stay away from verbal communication, finds a job where he doesn't need to talk, many times avoids relationships with members of the opposite sex due to shame and a feeling that he will be rejected and sometimes finds himself lonely, distant and anxious about his situation. In the past, when such a person sought psychological treatment, the therapists attributed the speech problem to his mental state. The assumption was that he stuttered because he was anxious, stressed, shy or insecure. Today we know much more about stuttering. A person who stutters does not stutter because he is anxious or stressed or shy, etc., he stutters first of all and because of that he has all the difficult feelings that accompany a person who fails in fluency. לבדיקת התאמה חינם

Recognition Contact More for a free evaluation Call one of our national lines now: (917) 455-1419 For Hebrew Site The Importance of Fluency Speech is a natural function. We have never paid attention to this gift of using language and expression, but people who suffer from stuttering, find themselves excluded from society. Not only do they constantly worry about exhibiting difficulty when speaking, but they also suffer from psychological symptoms like anxiety. The main reason a PWS has such negative feelings towards his/her speech is because of the feeling of failure and the inability to say something that he/she wants to say. Something so simple to say (ex: your name) requires no thought to a person who does not stutter. However, for a PWS, it’s like climbing Everest to say a complete sentence in a row without stuttering, blushing, repeating a word or sounds, rubbing your throat, swelling from stress, etc. It is an indescribable suffering that causes and leads to unjustified mental damage. People who suffer from stuttering will do anything to overcome the embarrassing phenomenon. This phenomenon causes them to exclude themselves from job interviews and remove themselves from social interactions, especially with the opposite sex. Stutterers have feelings of inferiority and worthlessness, which is extremely heartbreaking. To Speak and Express- The Most Natural Thing in the World! The most famous person in the world who suffered from a stutter is George VI who abdicated the throne (by marrying Wallis Simpson). He was treated by a communication therapist named Lionel Logue for years, and the movie The King's Speech expresses the success of the treatment. The movie is based on a real event, when on the brink of World War II, England needed a real leader so George VI made a speech on the radio (he did not stutter in the speech) and succeeded in causing the union of hearts. Imagine a king who stutters. Even the highest title cannot prevent a king who stutters from feeling anxious. Without the support of his therapists, his family, and Churchill, George VI would not have dared to speak, and certainly not on the radio. This indicates the helplessness and support that people who stutter need to gain confidence and speak fluently. Dysfluent speech causes a person to avoid expressing himself, bury his ideas, avoid connections, and/or share an opinion to the point of "defamation" of real identity. Dr. Fluency's method understands the mind of the stutterer! The principle inherent in Dr. Fluency's method - to start over basically turns to the tormented soul of the person who stutters and tells her - forget everything, here is a new opportunity and you have to start over. It is impossible to uproot from the soul of the person who stutters all the difficult feelings and anxiety that accompany his speech failures, therefore, what the method tries to do is not to uproot you, but to "bypass" them by saying that the person does not speak as he has spoken so far, they correct him, but rather he begins to learn to speak and to breathe and pronounce words in a method he is not familiar with, which slowly opens him up to a new opportunity just for speaking and learning, but also prevents him from encountering the feelings that have prevented him until now from learning to overcome his stuttering. Dr. Fluency's method produces speech fluency and reshapes speech for people who suffer from stuttering and its success rates testify to the wisdom of the method and its ability to make patients forget about past speech failures.

The vast majority of them started the long road of trying to get treatment at the health insurance fund since it is the initial answer to any medical and developmental problem. The health funds have a pool of communication clinicians who treat a wide variety of language, communication and hearing impairments, but unfortunately the vast majority of them do not specialize in the treatment of stuttering and speech fluency disorders. The HMO has a financial interest in allowing you to be treated by the HMO's clinician instead of sharing with you the costs of private treatment as it is required by the state health law, therefore always when you approach the HMO to treat stuttering you are immediately referred to the HMO's clinician (which may lead to a wait of many months ) and sometimes the clinician who does not specialize in the treatment of stuttering can try and treat all kinds of tools that she has heard of in the past, even though they were disproved years ago. In some cases there is a temporary improvement during the treatment (could also be due to the placebo effect or due to a temporary improvement in the mental state) but in all cases later In a very short time the fluency of speech deteriorates back. In many cases the patients report that during the treatment at the clinic they feel relief in speaking but once they leave they fail to put it into action since they do not get practical tools to speak fluently even in everyday life. What is important to know and the officials at the HMO are often not informed (because they usually don't know themselves) is that according to the state health law, the HMO is obliged to participate in a course or series of treatments for stuttering even in private institutes that are not in agreement with the HMO, and none of this depends on the age of the patient or the level of insurance His. There is no need for Form 17 and a commitment and a referral from a family doctor/pediatrician is sufficient for this purpose. The process varies between the ticket offices and the ages, and you can get a detailed and accurate explanation of this in the compatibility check with us. So how do you overcome stuttering?

The question is whether it is considered stuttering. In the past, stuttering was attributed not to a disorder in speech production but to an emotional difficulty causing the child to stutter. After countless studies, researchers concluded that it stems from an organic neurological failure, not an emotional one. For this reason, emotional and psychological treatments are not the answer to the actual source of stuttering but only to the emotional problems and accompanying side effects. The way to solve the problem begins first with the speech itself. This requires the successful treatment program developed at the Dr Fluency Institute, which combines treating the underlying issues while giving the tools for regular speech and instilling confidence a PWS lacks, thus alleviating the emotional difficulties involved in speaking. When is it a Speech Fluency Disorder (Stuttering)? Dr Fluency Institute experts explain that between the ages of 2 and 5, children who have already started speaking fluently will get stuck in the middle of a word or sentence, lengthen certain syllables, and may add words or sounds. These characteristics are not always a disorder of speech fluency. Sometimes, it is a stage in natural brain and speech development. So, when is it classified as a speech fluency disorder? When there is a gap between understanding and thinking and the child doesn't always manage to choose the right words, it is not necessarily a fluency disorder. We suspect a speech fluency disorder if he has difficulty pronouncing words that do not need to be thought about in advance or repeats syllables more than necessary to remember a word. The child knows what he wants to say, but it just doesn't come out. He gets stuck, starts stuttering, and loses efficient communication. This difficulty can often be accompanied by emotional disturbance and feelings of shame, pressure, and confusion that cause the child to stutter even more. Dr. Fluency's Recommendation At the Dr Fluency Institute, we tell parents in this situation to support the child, not make it difficult for them to pronounce the words, not demand that they pronounce them correctly (because they are probably not able to at this stage), and to compliment them on any success. Any application of pressure and reward for speaking correctly and the like will make them feel that they are being criticized and that there are expectations. This will often be the cause of his inability to speak. Putting pressure of any kind on a child who has difficulty speaking is a bitter mistake that can only exacerbate the problem. When stuttering persists beyond age 4, a speech fluency disorder can already emerge, so it is possible to start treating it immediately. However, the standard treatment method of the Dr. Fluency Institute is unsuitable for children under 6. Still, there is another method between ages 4 and 6; you can get details about this by scheduling a consultation with an Institute representative. 5% of Children Develop Speech Disfluency Before Age 3! Five percent of 3-year-old children will develop speech fluency disorders at one point or another, but in 80% of cases, the stuttering goes away on its own without any treatment. So, when a 3-year-old child starts stuttering, it is advised to wait because it most likely won't require any intervention. Of course, even during this period, it is recommended to follow the above advice. Only after the age of 4, if the stuttering continues, should you contact the Dr Fluency Institute to consult on the matter and determine a diagnosis. for a free compatibility check So how do you overcome stuttering? rehabilitation process for the speech system which will teach us again how to control the system and how not to let stuttering dictate the way we produce speech, what I say and our life in general.

Therefore, the best way to treat speech fluency disorder and stuttering is Dr. Fluency's method of treating stuttering. Many ask what exactly is Dr. Fluency's method? The explanation is simple! Returning control over speech to the patient by restoring the entire speech process using special software that is always available on a dedicated tablet, according to a personalized rhythm. A combination of meetings with a communication therapist (about once a week at the beginning of the process and then gradually according to the pace of learning) with self-practice at home (about half an hour a day in front of the tablet) gives the desired results. Dr. Fluency's stuttering treatment, implemented with the help of professional guidance and guidance from a speech therapist and therapy graduates who serve as mentors, consists of learning, application and practice. On average, the patient works for about 3 months on learning a new speech fluency, after that he applies the new speech (a process that takes another few months) and the last step is improving and maintaining a new speech fluency in the form of practicing the technique he has acquired, whether it is in a practice class with additional patients (and a communication therapist as a guide) or through real-time practices such as: managing a dialogue in a store, ordering a product or service by phone.

When he has the desire to invest and rebuild his entire speech process and thus be solely responsible for the future of his speech, for good speech fluency, for controlling the vocal cords, for controlling his own speech! A little more about practicing at home The practice of Dr. Fluency's method is conducted in front of a computer program, the software comes with a special tablet that is easy to operate and user-friendly. In the first stage, the correct speech is learned in the weekly meetings at the clinic and by self-work in front of the computer at home. In the next step, when you start to apply the new speech on a daily basis, it is important to practice the speech with someone, whether it is the parents, a sibling, a spouse or a close friend. The importance of practicing in front of people allows the application of this speech in everyday life, as well as receiving feedback on the speech in terms of fluency and naturalness. When the goal is clear - good and normal speech fluency in all everyday speech situations.
