Why Fluent Speech?
At the Precision Fluency Shaping Program, stuttering is treated as a behavioral problem, and not perceived as the consequence of a complex emotional disorder. The accurate redevelopment of the physical properties of speech compromises a valuable approach to a perplexing, long-standing affliction. The Precision Fluency Shaping Program employs laboratory derived principles of learning in the development of new speech skills. In the therapy program, the physical mechanisms used in the production of speech are precisely and systematically retrained. Initially, participants in the Precision Fluency Shaping Program relearn the proper means of producing the elementary sounds of speech. The stutterers then rebuild their ability to correctly produce syllables, words, and ultimately, complete sentences.
