Cluttering: The Other Fluency Disorder

January 22, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Have you ever had a client who stutters in an unusual way and did not respond completely to traditional stuttering modification and fluency shaping strategies of conventional stuttering therapy? This client might be cluttering. Recognized for many years around the edges of stuttering and fluency disorders, cluttering has been poorly understood and given scant attention in the research and intervention literature. The first World Congress on Cluttering was only convened in 2009. It was only in 2011 that St. Louis and Schulte advanced a coherent definition of cluttering that distinguished it from stuttering.

New evidence points to cluttering as a complex disorder with a variety of features and manifestations that can be related to motor as well as language variables. This presentation will explore the current definition of cluttering, describe the core characteristics, explore the relationship to stuttering, identify other associated features frequently associated with cluttering, and review assessment and intervention strategies. The presenter will provide a list of resources and materials at the end.
