FLUENCY GOALS

Speech modification strategies

These promote fluency enhancing techniques.
Common types include slowed speech, light contacts, easy onset, relaxed breathing,
stretched speech/continuous phonation, pausing/chunking.

Example #1: [Client] will use the easy onset fluency shaping strategy, during a 5 minute
conversational treatment task, in 80% of opportunities.
Example #2: [Client] will use 2 fluency shaping strategies (i.e., relaxed breathing, slowed
speech), during a timed structured treatment task, with 80% accuracy.
Example #3: [Client] will use the continuous phonation strategy, during presentations to
unfamiliar individuals, in 75% of opportunities.
Example #4: [Client] will use the light contact fluency shaping strategy in words and phrases, in
structured language tasks, in 90% of opportunities, across 3 sessions.

Stuttering modification strategies

These are designed to reduce tension and modify moments of stuttering. Common types
include pull-outs, relaxed stuttering, intentional stuttering, preparatory sets, and
cancellations.
Example #1:
[Client] will use the cancellation stuttering modification strategy, following self-identified
disfluencies, throughout the duration of the treatment session, with 80% accuracy.
Example #2:
[Client] will use preparatory sets, prior to moments of anticipated stuttering within a
conversational treatment task, in 75% of opportunities.
Example #3:
[Client] will use pull-out strategies, during a structured reading aloud task, with 80% accuracy.
Example #4:
[Client] will use the 3 stuttering modification strategies, in words and sentences, during
structured language tasks, in 8 out of 10 trials, across 2-3 consecutive sessions.
