[QUOTE="Martie, post: 89198, member: 284"] Hi, Full word or part of sentence repetition is "normal." We all do it and young kids do it a lot. It can also be a habit that occurs when one is thinking about what to say. Generally, it goes away without Tx if it is the only problem the child has. Sound repetition, "MMMMMy mmmother is cccoming to ppick me up," (also called 'hard' stuttering or 'atypical' stuttering) is much more serious, and usually occurs at the beginning of a word but can occur in the medial position as well. Some children have certain sounds that they stutter on....obviously this is not an articulation problem because the repeated sound is usually crystal clear; other times it seems random and any initial sound can be repeated. All types of stuttering increase under conditions of anxiety or frustration. Here is what I was advised to do for a child who had a moderate/severe expressive Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) language disorder and had all three problems but no other concomitant disorders: Ignore whole word repetitions (cluttering) as though they did not happen. Ask for clarification of mis-articulations so severe that intelligibility is compromised (we are talking about a 3 year old who said "cawa" for potato--"tato" would have been OK.) Then model the correct form and DROP IT--do not ask for repetition. Interrupt sound repetition (hard stuttering) very pleasantly and say what the child is trying to say for her/him. I might be reluctant to relate these suggestions because they are so "old." However Northwester S/L Clinic is absolutely cutting edge for stuttering and therefore, I believe that the above has not been superseded by any other research-based practice. I reached this conclusion based on a conversation with easy child's primary therapist in 2003--she told me diagnosis was improved a lot since 1987, but recommendations to parents and teachers for abnormal repetitions was essentially the same. Best to you, Martie [/QUOTE]
