I'm currently seeing a client in my school's clinic who experiences no stuttering-like disfluencies unless she is giving a presentation. When she is giving a presentation she exhibits moderate stuttering. She experiences part-word repetitions, whole-word repetitions, numerous blocks, and interjections. She seems to show no pattern on words that she has difficulty on at all. We are currently working on pacing to decrease her rate of speech, which has worked a little. We have also added carrier phrases to her speeches that seem to help with her fluency. Does anyone have any other suggestions for this client?
