    Self-perception of people who stutter regarding their experiences and results of stuttering treatments
    (2014) ANDRADE, Claudia Regina Furquim de; CUNHA, Maria Claudia; JUSTE, Fabiola Staróbole; RITTO, Ana Paula; ALMEIDA, Beatriz Paiva Bueno de
    Purpose: To investigate the opinion about stuttering treatments in people who stutter, based on their answers to two open questions. Methods: The participants were 40 adults of both genders, with self-reported stuttering. During the first phase of the research, we contacted two Brazilian nongovernmental organizations: the Brazilian Stuttering Association (ABRAGAGUEIRA) and the Brazilian Fluency Institute (IBF). These associations agreed to participate and were responsible for sending the research questions to their members via electronic mail. The first contact with the participants elucidated the purpose and method of our research and, after obtaining informed consent from participants, the two questions were sent. The research questions involved their opinion about cure, treatments to which the participants had been submitted, and their outcome. Results: After analysis, the answers obtained indicated that people who stutter believe in a cure for stuttering; that the ideal therapy would be the one that led to the disappearance of the symptoms; and the most frequently reported professional to treat the disorder is the speech-language pathologist. The results also indicated that although most of the participants had undergone speech-language treatment for stuttering, neither significant improvements were observed nor satisfaction was positive. Conclusion: The results indicate that the answers presented by the participants were not based on scientific knowledge about the disorder but on their wish that ""something could happen"" to make stuttering ""disappear."" Although in this study we did not investigate the type of treatment to which the patients were submitted, the results suggest that the factors that contribute to an effective treatment are contentious.

    Comparação da performance de fala em indivíduos gagos e fluentes
    (2017) COSTA, Julia Biancalana; RITTO, Ana Paula; JUSTE, Fabiola Staróbole; ANDRADE, Claudia Regina Furquim de
    ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the speech performance of fluent speakers and individuals who stutter during spontaneous speech, automatic speech, and singing. Methods The study sample was composed of 34 adults, 17 individuals who stutter and 17 fluent controls, matched for gender and age. The speech performance of participants was compared by means of three tasks: monologue, automatic speech, and singing. The following aspects were assessed: total number of common disruptions and total number of stuttering-like disruptions. Results Statistically significant difference was observed only for the monologue task in both intra- and inter-group comparisons. Conclusion The outcomes of this study indicate that tasks of higher motor and melodic complexities, such as the monologue task, negatively affect the speech fluency of both fluent speakers and individuals who stutter.
