This accessible book provides an overview of fluency disorders.
Written by a team of speech language pathology researchers and
practitioners in India, it examines the concepts of fluency and
dysfluency with illustrative examples in English and Indian
languages. Understanding and Managing Fluency Disorders introduces
different fluency disorders and gives an overview of current
research and the theoretical background. Clinical aspects of each
fluency disorder are also described, and the book outlines
assessment protocols and intervention methods. Maruthy and Kelkar
address the definitions and prevalence of fluency disorders,
stuttering assessments as well as acquired neurogenic stuttering.
One of the highlights of the book is the chapter dedicated to
typical disfluency, which could be of immense use to beginning
clinicians who wish to increase the specificity and accuracy of
their assessment. Other salient features include case vignettes,
activity examples, easy steps to carry out intervention approaches,
and the added advantage of an ICF perspective, making this a
practitioner's guide to management of fluency disorders. Offering a
comprehensive overview of theoretical and clinical aspects of
stuttering, cluttering and fluency disorders, this volume will be
highly relevant reading for students of fluency disorders and
speech and language therapy. It will also provide clinicians and
trainees working in the field with up-to-date theoretical and
clinical information about assessment and intervention.
