Current Definition
Cluttering is a fluency disorder wherein segments ofconversation1 in the speaker’s native language2
typically are perceived as too fast overall3, tooirregular4, or both. The segments of rapid and/orirregular speech rate must further be accompaniedby one or more of the following: (a) excessive“normal” disfluencies5; (b) excessive collapsing6 ordeletion of syllables; and/or (c) abnormal pauses,syllable stress, or speech rhythm.

Current Definition
1 Cluttering must occur in naturalistic conversation,but it need not occur even a majority of the time.Clear but isolated examples that exceed thoseobserved in normal speakers are sufficient for adiagnosis.2 This may also apply to the speaker’s mastered andhabitual non-native language, especially inmultilingual living environments.3 This may be true even though syllable rates maynot exceed those of normal speakers.
88
Current Definition
4 Synonyms for irregular rate include “jerky,” or“spurty.”5 These disfluencies are often observed in smallernumbers in normal speakers and are typically notobserved in stuttering.6 Collapsing includes, but is not limited to, excessiveshortening, “telescoping,” or “over-coarticulating”various syllables, especially in multisyllabic words.

Accurate Diagnosis
� Cluttered speech vs. cluttering� Avoid the “broad net” and its pitfalls
� Such practice also provides answers to the age-oldquestions:� Does cluttering really exist, anyway?� Isn’t it really just a language disorder?� Isn’t it really just an articulation disorder? Maybe
hypokinetic dysarthria?

Assessment Strategies
� Gather the information
� Be sure that your speechsamples include�Rote tasks (counting: fast,
communication breakdowns andadjustments in others (TV, movies,real life)
� Functional phrases� Play natural reinforcers!� Keep it up: it’s got to be a focus until
it comes naturally� Multicultural considerations

Concomitant Disorders� ADHD
� Considering monitoring and self-regulation
� Autism Spectrum Disorders� Principles of engagement
� Low cognitive levels� Keeping it simple and natural
� Resistant to change� Meeting them where they are

Summary
� Keep it clean and simple� Look at the whole picture and how
communication is impacted� Analyze patterns over time to gain
information� Make it functional and naturalistic so
that buy in and carryover are ensured� More resources and info to
come…keep your eyes and earsopen!
