Comparison of Pantomiming and Easy Onset Treatment

Comparison of Pantomiming and Easy Onset Treatment on Blocking in Stammering

This research will give in-depth understanding of pantomiming and easy onset method as an intervention of stuttering and especially blocking. And by comparing both methods, It will also determine that which method is more effective. This research will also improve the overall awareness regarding stuttering

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The real time analysis	Changes from base line "The Real time analysis will use. It will use to assessed the changes in frequency ,duration types and severity of disfluencies in spontaneous speech.The total number of dysfluencies will be divided by the total number of syllables then multiply answer by 100 .Results between 2% showed normal range,8-15% will consider Moderate level, 12% will consider as severe level	12 weeks
