found in 61.8 percent of the children. Because of the tension and anxiety it was impossible to measure resting motor activity, but a discordance of rhythmic movements was found in 52.9 percent of the children. Delayed phonological development was found in 30 percent of the school-aged children and in 56.7 percent of the preschoolers. Stuttering was more frequent in boys.

Poster Presentation It is proposed that as a cumulative effect of stuttering, the stutterer forms certain coping styles and behaviors, determining his adjustment to his various social environments as well as to his stuttering. In this study, an extensive assessment procedure was used, along with tasks enabling 60 adult stutterers to exercise their problem-solving and decision-making abilities and preferences. There was a relative consistency in certain coping styles and behaviors in groups of adult stutterers, groups also discriminated by their stuttering behavior. The results are promising if a more refined differential assessment of the person may influence his or her stuttering.

Evanston, Illinois, USA
Oral Presentation: 30 min. Stuttering clients frequently report as they are beginning to self-monitor their speech, that their “within-the-head” internal perception reports that their speech is unacceptably slow; yet when they listen to a recording, they agree that it appeared to be within normal rate limits. Additionally, stutterers often report that they have complex thought processes, and that moment-by-moment self-monitoring required in stuttering therapy causes them to lose their train of thought. When therapy is successful, the client’s internal monitoring problems are addressed in counseling, and the playback of his speech yields no surprise.

Issues: The Present and the Future
Chair, Evanston, Illinois, USA
Panel Presentation: 90 minutes Through several brief presentations, participants will focus on basic issues about the nature of stuttering, the implications of research for therapy, and the treatment process. Discussion will emphasize identifying future directions that should be given consideration during and following the Congress.
