- Comparison of different speech tasks among adults who stutter and adults who do not stutter(2016) RITTO, Ana Paula; COSTA, Julia Biancalana; JUSTE, Fabiola Starobole; ANDRADE, Claudia Regina Furquim deOBJECTIVES: In this study, we compared the performance of both fluent speakers and people who stutter in three different speaking situations: monologue speech, oral reading and choral reading. This study follows the assumption that the neuromotor control of speech can be influenced by external auditory stimuli in both speakers who stutter and speakers who do not stutter. METHOD: Seventeen adults who stutter and seventeen adults who do not stutter were assessed in three speaking tasks: monologue, oral reading (solo reading aloud) and choral reading (reading in unison with the evaluator). Speech fluency and rate were measured for each task. RESULTS: The participants who stuttered had a lower frequency of stuttering during choral reading than during monologue and oral reading. CONCLUSIONS: According to the dual premotor system model, choral speech enhanced fluency by providing external cues for the timing of each syllable compensating for deficient internal cues.
- Clinical Trial for Stuttering Treatment: pilot study about dog participation in the therapy session(2019) COSTA, Julia Biancalana; ICHITANI, Tatiane; JUSTE, Fabiola Starobole; CUNHA, Maria Claudia; ANDRADE, Claudia Regina Furquim dePurpose: To verify the effect of dog intervention on the regular session of speech therapy for developmental stuttering in adults. Methods: The study involved young adults and adults with developmental stuttering. The study sample was composed of eight participants, six males and two tamales, ranging in age from 16 to 45 years. Participants were divided into two groups: G1 - those who underwent treatment for stuttering with the presence of a dog-therapist in the therapy room and G2 - those who underwent treatment for stuttering without the presence of the dog therapist. We included a control group, G3, composed of fluent participants, matched in age and sex to G1 and G2 to control the natural variability of speech fluency. Results: Comparative results between the groups indicated that the group that performed the treatment without the presence of the clog achieved better performance, evolution and efficacy rates. Conclusion: for the population in this study. the dog intervention on speech therapy did not improve treatment.
- Frequency of speech disruptions in Parkinson's Disease and developmental stuttering: A comparison among speech tasks(2018) JUSTE, Fabiola Starobole; SASSI, Fernanda Chiarion; COSTA, Julia Biancalana; ANDRADE, Claudia Regina Furquim deObjective To analyze the frequency of speech disruptions across different speech tasks, comparing the performance of individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and DS. Method Participants were 20 people with PD, 20 people with DS and 40 fluent individuals. Speech samples were recorded during monologue speech, choral and solo oral reading. Transcriptions of 200 fluent syllables were performed to identify stuttering-like disfluencies (SLDs) and other disfluencies (ODs). Results People with PD presented significantly less speech disruptions when compared to people with DS, but significantly more speech disruptions than the control group. Stuttering-like disfluencies ocurred more frequently during monologue speech and solo oral reading for both PD and DS, whereas the control group did not present difference between these tasks. Conclusion The stuttering pattern presented by people with PD is different from what is usually described as being neurogenic stuttering.
