1/3. Using simplified regulated breathing with an adolescent stutterer: application of effective intervention in a residential context.

    Simplified regulated breathing (SRB) has been demonstrated to reduce or eliminate stuttering in children. However, much of the current research has evaluated the intervention with school-aged children within educational contexts. In the current case report, we extended the application of SRB by evaluating its effectiveness in treating stuttering displayed by a 15-year-old resident of a large midwestern residential facility. Further, we evaluated the impact across different assessment conditions. Results showed that SRB resulted in decreased stuttering for the participant, although differential effectiveness across conditions was noted. These results are discussed in terms of the generality of SRB across client populations and clinical settings, as well as the value of addressing contextual variables when treating stuttering.

2/3. stuttering as a complication of strabismus surgery.

    Children may experience extremely high levels of psychological stress in the operating suite because of anxiety associated with the separation from their parents, the unfamiliar and intimidating environment, the presence of strangers in unusual attire (masks, caps, gowns), the act of being forcibly restrained, and the forceful pressing over the mouth and nose of an anesthetic mask which emits a foul-smelling gas and which seems to restrict breathing in a manner reminiscent of suffocation. High levels of anxiety can lead to regression in a child's mental development, including stuttering, which is a regression to an earlier speech pattern and failure to develop fluent speech. Two cases are reported in which children developed stuttering following inappropriate or abusive treatment by the anesthesia departments of the hospitals in which they had surgery for strabismus. Both patients were four-year-old boys.

3/3. Dismantling simplified regulated breathing: a case of a bilingual stutterer.

    In this case study of a 28-year-old bilingual male, the Simplified Regulated Breathing treatment for stuttering was further dismantled. Implementing noncontingent diaphragmatic breathing in one treatment session, stuttering was reduced in both English (his second language) and Russian (his native language), while his words per minute increased. In addition, the implementation of treatment resulted in a decrease in secondary struggle behaviors associated with stuttering. The results were seen as socially valid and the treatment was seen as acceptable to the participant. Implications of this case study are presented.
