Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of the acoustically controlled auditory training on the speech fluency of children diagnosed with developmental stuttering. Two patients were submitted to speech fluency evaluation, basic audiological assessment, and central auditory processing assessment, before and after the intervention with the digital platform. Two male individuals (P1 and P2) participated in the research. They were respectively 8 and 9 years old, both were right-handed, native Brazilian Portuguese speakers, diagnosed with developmental stuttering, P1 presenting a moderate, and P2, a mild-to-moderate degree. There was an improvement in some auditory skills. However, there was no improvement in the speech fluency pattern in neither of the cases studied.
Highlights
Speech perception and production are related events, in which the appreciation of the frequency, intensity, and duration of the sounds works as a basis to develop hearing and language
The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of the acoustically controlled auditory training on the speech fluency of children diagnosed with developmental stuttering
The results of the disfluency and central auditory processing (CAP) assessments of the participants in the sample were descriptively and individually presented, according to the analysis that was based on the following tables
Summary
Speech perception and production are related events, in which the appreciation of the frequency, intensity, and duration of the sounds works as a basis to develop hearing and language. This study hypothesizes that stuttering people have their CAP skills impaired, and that, if this functional change is identified and submitted to auditory training, there may be an improvement in the fluency of stuttering children.
