Do you know that about one third of people who have stuttering also have cluttering? While cluttering can happen on its own, it can also happen with other communication disorders, including stuttering. Most people with cluttering only seek professional help when they have stuttering or other disorders. Stuttering and cluttering share similarities, but there are important differences. This session will explain the nature of cluttering, the different ways in which stuttering and cluttering manifest in a person’s speech, how they might present in combination, their impact on communication, and on quality of life. Hear about one person’s first-hand “roller coaster” experience with stuttering and cluttering as he searched for a path to successful communication. Various therapy approaches will be touched upon during the discussion.
This session is intended for those who present with symptoms of cluttering or are curious about this disorder, and for speech-language pathologists who want to learn more about cluttering as a communication disorder. Everyone is welcome to attend.
