| Abstract | |
INTRODUCTION: Developmental stuttering is a pathology characterized by involuntary disruptions in speech flow and is caused by deficits in neuromotor processing involved in speech production. These symptoms result in a variety of physiological, behavioral, cognitive and emotional consequences to the person who stutters. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a therapeutic approach for stuttering treatment based on altered auditory feedback devices, and to compare them with a traditional behavioral therapeutic approach. METHODS: This thesis is a compilation of two papers published in peerreviewed scientific journals indexed in the Web of Science database, and one unpublished manuscript, submitted to a scientific journal and currently awaiting review by peers. A critical analysis of the contributions of the compiled papers to the Speech-Language Pathology field was performed. RESULTS: The results presented in the analyzed papers did not show differences between the outcomes of the two therapeutic approaches; both protocols achieved improvements, as measured by speech fluency performance and selfreported quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: Altered auditory feedback devices may be used as a resource for the treatment of adults who stutter (AU) | |
