Fluency: wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s, speech that is easy, rhythmical and evenly flowing. Disfluency is combined with excessive physical and mental effort to resume talking: have a hard time creating communication. Stutters have negative perceptions of their communication abilities may develop low self-esteem: pro(cid:271)le(cid:373) with (cid:862)stutterer(cid:863) defi(cid:374)e the perso(cid:374) first i(cid:374)stead of the disorder first, trying to get the communication across and there is a disorder. Repetitions: everyone is disfluent at times, repeating sounds at the beginning or in the middle of words, might repeat that sound or phoneme multiple times before they can get it out. Prolongations: holding a sound for a long period of time. Blocks: silent prolongations, easing into it, not able to hear the first part of the word. Non-speech behaviors: the physical representation of that stutter, the secondary behaviors, gestures, taps, pacing, tapping their hands. Counterproductive adaptations: circumlocutions: talking around what the word is called, avoidances.
