The Substantiation of the Use of the Dance-Moving Therapy in Stuttering (the Psychophysical Aspect)

Olga Beglova and Elena Rau

In this article we present the results of an experiment studying the speech and non-speech (physical, psychical) appearances of stuttering teenagers and adults. Our data confirmed the necessity of the use of a non-traditional method, the dance-moving therapy, which indirectly influences the psycho and the speech appearances of the stuttering persons through the work with their own body. It also supports, activates and transforms the communicative activities of the participants.
