A 24-year-old male self-refers for a fluency evaluation. His presenting complaint is stuttering. During conversation at the initial assessment, he speaks intelligibly at a typical rate and produces no overt stutter-like disfluencies. He reports that he often expects to stutter while conversing, but that he usually can prevent or conceal the occurrence of the expected fluency disruptions either by substituting a word or by inserting a pause or "um" before the word upon which he expects to be disfluent. He states that these strategies are useful and that he would like to be able to "talk without thinking about talking." He reports that he attended speech therapy from elementary school through high school and that it helped him reduce disfluency significantly during therapy activities, but his disfluency frequency did not change much during activities outside of therapy. He fears that coworkers will react negatively to - CORRECT ANSWER: A Option (A) is correct. Research supports the idea that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBTC B T) can change the communication-related attitudes of people who stutter.

He fears that coworkers will react negatively to - CORRECT ANSWER: C, Option (C) is correct. Some people who stutter can prevent anticipated instances of stutter-like disfluency either by substituting words or by delaying the start of a word upon which stuttering is anticipated, e.g., by pausing or by interjecting fillers such as "um." Speech-related fear, concern about listener evaluations, and anticipated disfluency are all hallmarks of stuttering but are not typical symptoms in SLI or cluttering. Even though the SLP has not heard stuttering-like disfluency in the patient's speech, all other symptoms are consistent with a diagnosis of stuttering.

Reinforcing open stuttering directly addresses the client's fear of stuttering and provides opportunities for the client to objectively evaluate how other people respond when he stutters openly.
A 28-year-old classroom teacher complaining of frequent voice loss is seen by an SLPS L P and an otolaryngologist. It is determined the patient's symptoms are linked to significant vocal demands. Which of following recommendations is the most appropriate first step to treat the underlying disorder?A.Advising the patient to undergo complete voice rest until the nodules improve or resolve B.Educating the patient on the importance of hydration and behavioral antireflux strategies C.Recommending voice amplification with resonant voice therapy
D.Training strategies to increase vocal loudness - CORRECT ANSWER: C
A 28-year-old female self-refers for a voice evaluation. She exhibits a variable dysphonia (it is present in some sentences but not in others) which presents as mild-to- moderate roughness. The SLPS L P desires more objective data about the patient's voice quality.Based on the information obtained so far, which of the following assessments best complements the perceptual assessment to help the SLPS L P determine the underlying physiological impairment(s)?
- Performing acoustic assessment
- Obtaining history of the problem
- Using the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPEC A P E-V)
- Administering the Voice Handicap Index (VHIV H I) - CORRECT ANSWER: A Option
(A) is correct. Acoustic measures can support a perceptual judgement of voice quality 3 / 4
and have been found in several studies to differentiate normal from pathologic conditions of the voice.

- Setting up an appointment for a pharyngeal manometry test
- Using the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)
