Summary

This trial is testing online therapy sessions and specialized training for speech therapists to help people who stutter. It focuses on both monolingual and multilingual speakers. The goal is to improve their speech fluency by addressing various factors like speech patterns, language skills, and psychological aspects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children (2-17 years) and adults (18+ years) who stutter. Eligible participants are those recognized by caregivers or self-reported as individuals who stutter, have been diagnosed by a speech-language pathologist, or show a certain level of disfluency in their speech.
What is being tested?
The study is examining the Blank Center CARE Model(TM), focusing on how it can help people who stutter. It looks at contributions to stuttering and evaluates telehealth treatments and training methods for fluency disorders.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like speech therapy, there aren't typical medical side effects; however, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during treatment sessions.

Other Research
Common treatments for stuttering, particularly those involving speech-language pathology and telehealth, focus on improving fluency by addressing speech, language, and psychosocial factors. These treatments often include techniques such as controlled fluency shaping, which helps patients develop smoother speech patterns, and stuttering modification, which aims to reduce the severity and frequency of stuttering episodes. Additionally, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to address the anxiety and negative emotions associated with stuttering. The use of telehealth allows for greater accessibility and consistency in treatment, which is crucial for sustained improvement. These mechanisms are important for stuttering patients as they not only improve speech fluency but also enhance overall communication skills and reduce the psychological burden of stuttering.
