The 411 on "Easy Bouncing"

6/27/2013

0 Comments

 
WHAT IS EASY BOUNCING? 
  • Slow and relaxed repetitions done on purpose
  • There should be no tension associated with these repetitions
WHY DOES IT WORK? 
  • Decreases sensitivity and reactivity to stuttering (which in turn may reduce word avoidances and secondary behaviors like eye blinks, lip tension, etc.)
  • Teaches children a less tense, less severe and more forward-moving form of stuttering
  • Gives children a sense of control over their speech
  • Can eventually be used to practice “smoothing” out their their true disfluencies  (i.e. "My-my-mmmmy name is Brooke")
WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?
  • "cra-cra-cracker" or "bo-bo-boat"
  • Be sure to use the actual vowel sound rather than the neutral “uh” (i.e. "tay-tay-table" vs. "tuh-tuh-table.")
