What is one of the main targets of cluttering treatment?

Increasing awareness of speech breakdowns is a fundamental target in cluttering treatment. Individuals who clutter often have difficulty recognizing when their speech becomes disorganized or difficult to understand. By enhancing their awareness of these breakdowns, clients can learn to monitor their speech patterns more effectively. This awareness allows them to implement strategies to reformulate their speech in a clearer, more coherent manner.

In contrast, eliminating all stuttering is not a primary focus in cluttering treatment, as cluttering and stuttering are distinct speech disorders with different characteristics. Improving fluency through repetition may be a useful strategy in some speech therapy contexts, but it does not directly target the specific awareness issues and speech organization challenges associated with cluttering. Additionally, using advanced vocabulary frequently is not typically relevant to the treatment of cluttering, as the focus is on clarity and fluency rather than vocabulary complexity.
