The objective of speech therapy for treating stammering is not so much in attaining increased speech fluency, as it is in maintaining and stabilizing the change achieved through speech therapy techniques. Some speech therapists say that it is necessary for a sustained treatment protocol to help patients to cope with the condition. They are also of the opinion that most cases show significant improvement during the initial phases of therapy. However gradually while the new practice wears off they lapse into their old habit. Hence it is important for people who stammer to continue to maintain and practice the techniques of speech taught them by speech therapists. This will ensure that the stammering does not relapse.
According to speech therapists all our actions, including the act of speech, are neuro-muscular in nature. The brain emits electro-chemical signals. These travel through the nerves and order the required muscles to execute specific movements. The smooth transmission of these electro-chemical impulse signals can become disturbed when the mind is thrilled or excited. Stammering is a condition which becomes worse with emotional issues. Thus prolonged speech therapy can help treat the disorder.
