Light Contact (Fluency Shaping) - Involves releasing tension lightly and avoiding the forceful or abrupt contact of the articulators (such as the tongue, lips, or teeth). It helps to create a gentler articulation that does not trigger stuttering behaviors associated with excessive tension., Easy Onset (Fluency Shaping) - Involves easing into a word, typically starting with a soft or gentle sound to transition smoothly into the rest of the word. This technique is particularly useful for words that begin with vowels, though it can be applied to any sound., Slow Rate (Fluency Shaping) - This technique involves slowing down the overall rate of speech, allowing for more time to produce each sound, word, or phrase. By reducing the speed of speech, it becomes easier to control articulatory movements, leading to fewer stuttering episodes., Pausing and Phrasing (Fluency Shaping) - This technique involves strategically pausing between phrases or sentences. It’s about finding natural places to pause in speech (such as at punctuation marks or before the next thought) and then continuing the speech after a brief moment of rest., Pull-Out (Stuttering Modification) - Involves the speaker modifying their stuttering moment during the stutter. This means that after getting "stuck" on a word or sound (a block), the person consciously relaxes and eases into the word, typically by stretching the sound or syllable in a controlled way - pulling out of the stuttered moment., Cancellation (Stuttering Modification) - Involves stopping speech immediately after a moment of stuttering (MOS) and then restarting the word with less tension and at a slower rate. Essentially, the person cancels out the stutter and reattempts the word with a more relaxed approach., Preparatory Sets (Stuttering Modification) - Involves anticipating a stuttering moment (MOS) and then preparing a strategy (e.g., a pull-out) to ease into the word or phrase. The goal is to prevent tension by proactively preparing for the stutter and modifying speech before the stutter fully occurs.,
