“…40 Furthermore, the results from de Andrade et al 45 and from the present study have confirmed the findings previously published regarding speakers of American English, thereby pointing towards a direct relationship between increases in the stuttering severity index and reductions in speech rate. 45 The latter result, showing that there is an interesting negative correlation between mother's and children's speaking rates, is in line with the findings of Ainsworth and Fraser, 21 Conture and Fraser, 22 Costello 41 and Meyers and Freeman. 40 All of these other studies hypothesized that alterations in parental speaking rates influenced the speaking rates of stuttering children.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Stuttering is a complex disease that influences occupational, social, academic and emotional achievements. The aim of this study was to correlate the stuttering severity index with speaking rates of mothers and children. DESIGN AND SETTING:Cross-sectional study, at the child rehabilitation clinics of Tehran city.METHODS: 35 pairs of mothers and their children who stuttered were studied. There were 29 boys and six girls, of mean age 8.5 years (range: 5.1-12.0). Speech samples from the mother-child pairs were audiotaped for approximately 15 minutes, until a reciprocal verbal interaction had been obtained. This sample was then analyzed in accordance with a stuttering severity index test and speaking rate parameters. RESULTS:The research results outlined a significant relationship between the mothers' speaking rate and their children's stuttering severity. CONCLUSION:The results suggest that the mothers' speaking rate should be incorporated in the assessment and treatment of stuttering.

“…As suggested in previous studies, speech rate, measured in words per minute, was one of the parameters used to define the stutterer and non-stutterer groups. This parameter indicates the rate at which information is produced and, when calculated as syllables per minute, indicates the rate at which the structures involved in the production of speech are modified [1].…”

“…Fluent speech is the ability to talk with continuity at a sustained rate and without effort. Developmental stuttering presents as a chronic disruption in an individual's ability to produce smooth, effortless, and forward-moving speech (Andrade et al, 2003;De Felı'cio et al, 2007). Therefore, it seems that the lowest effort during breathing under speaking with comfort SPL should be reached if the EtCO 2 levels during speaking is close to the EtCO 2 measured during rest respiration.…”

Respiratory disturbances frequently accompany stuttering. Their influence on lung ventilation can be assessed by measurement of the end-tidal CO2 concentration (EtCO2). The effectiveness of the CO2-based visual feedback method of breath regulation (VF) designed for stuttering therapy was tested in this study. The aim of the study was to answer the question if the VF helps to reduce respiratory disturbances in stuttering and increase speech fluency. 20 stuttering volunteers aged 13-45 years took part in the 3-parts test consisting of: 1. speaking without any techniques improving speech fluency, 2. learning the VF method, 3. VF-assisted speaking. The CO2/time signal and an acoustic signal of an utterance were recorded during the test. Significant increase of FE -the factor of breath ergonomics during speaking (based on both signals), from 47% to 71% (P < 0.01), and significant decrease of %SS -the percent of syllables stuttered, from 14% to 10% (P < 0.01) were received for VF-assisted utterances compared to the utterances without VF assistance. The results indicate that the VF can help to eliminate respiratory disturbances in stuttering and increase speech fluency.
