Fluency & Cluttering
Cluttering Strategy #1: Slow Speech
When people clutter, they often speak very quickly or with an irregular rate (adding extra pauses). This makes it very hard for the listener to understand. When this happens, you can use a strategy called slow speech. To do this, you will use an overly-slow rate to make sure you don’t speed up again. This might be increasing natural pauses, taping a rhythm on your leg or with your toe, or another strategy that you come up with. This will help your listener understand what you are saying.
Homework: Touch a colored dot, on a pacing board, each time you say a word in a sentence. Keep your rate at an even, slow pace. Click on the Pacing Boards download below for this easy-to-use visual.
- Homework: Practice reading sentences or paragraphs from a book while using slow speech and the strategy you chose. Think about how it feels when you speak like this and how it sounds. Read to an adult and have them give you feedback on how you sound.
