Light articulatory contacts and gentle voicing onsets (GVOs) is a fluency shaping technique that reduces speech rate and physical tension before and during occurrences of stuttering, promoting smooth speech.
Explanation:
Fluency shaping is a therapy which is given to people suffering with speech difficulty. Initially, the therapy begins with slow speech with stretched vowels, then work on relaxed, diaphragmatic breathing. Slowly practicing with fold and control of vocal; and finally working on relaxed articulation.
This kind of therapy is given to people who suffer from stammer. The fluency shaping technique can help an individual in promoting smooth speech. Articulatory pressure can be reduced with regular practicing thereby reducing physical tension and stutter.
