In the usage below, unless otherwise specified, it is assumed that the person with stuttering is notified in advance to say "Tsukue".

-Usage method A of stuttering correction training device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5-
First, the training device 10 for stuttering correction is placed in front of the person with stuttering, more specifically, so that the person with stuttering is on the lower side in the vertical direction in FIG. For example, a person with a stuttering is seated on a chair, and the training device 10 is placed on a desk placed in front of the chair so that the person with a stuttering can see it as shown in FIG. The right hand (or left hand) of the handicapped person is placed at a position where the training equipment 10 can be easily reached.

Next, the right hand (or left hand) finger (for example, the index finger) of the person with stuttering is placed on the surface between the left end (left end in FIG. 1) of the training device 10 and the nearest ridge portion 16a (on the colored portion 18a) to the surface between the ridges 16b and 16c (on the colored portion 18c), jumping over the ridges 16a and 16b, and moving the finger from the start of movement to the colored portion. Until just before touching the top of 18c (on the surface between the ridges 16b and 16c), the first sound of ``tsukue'', ``tsu'', is played for a long time. to speak (first step).

Immediately after the finger of the stuttering person touches the colored part 18c (on the surface between the ridges 16b and 16c), the second sound of ``tsukue'', ``ku'', Let the person with stuttering speak in short sounds (second step).

After the speech in the second step described above, the finger of the person with stuttering jumps over the ridge 16c to the surface between the ridge 16c and the ridge 16d (on the colored portion 18d). (third step).

Then, immediately after the finger of the person with stuttering touches the colored portion 18d (on the surface between the ridges 16c and 16d), the third syllable of ``tsukue'', ``e'', is played. is uttered by the person with stuttering in short vowels (fourth step).

In the training device 10 according to the present invention, since the colored portion 18a and the colored portion 18b are configured in the same single color, the first syllable is long as in the usage method A described above for people with stuttering. It is possible to reduce the consciousness (brain consciousness) of the stuttering disordered person for "pronouncing the first syllable with a long syllable", and by repeating the training according to the above usage method A, the stuttering disorder can be reduced. It is expected to suppress the occurrence of various symptoms.

-How to use the stuttering correction training device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 B-
As in the method of use A described above, first, the training device 10 for stuttering correction is placed in front of the person with stuttering.

Next, the right (or left) finger (for example, the index finger) of the person with stuttering is placed on the training device 10 so that the mark 20b (a mark in which the Arabic numeral "1" is represented in black in a circle) is Place it on the colored part 18b, and make it utter the first syllable of ``tsukue'' in a short syllable (first step).

After the first step, the finger located on the colored portion 18b is moved toward the right end of the training device 10 over the ridge 16b so that the finger moves over the ridge adjacent to the ridge 16b. When it touches the surface between the part 16c (on the colored part 18c), it utters a short sound of "ku", which is the second sound of "tsukue" (second step).

After the speech in the second step described above, the finger of the person with stuttering jumps over the ridge 16c to the surface between the ridge 16c and the ridge 16d (on the colored portion 18d). (third step).

Then, immediately after the finger of the person with stuttering touches the colored portion 18d (on the surface between the ridges 16c and 16d), the third syllable of ``tsukue'', ``e'', is played. is uttered by the person with stuttering in short vowels (fourth step).

In the training device 10 according to the present invention, since the distances between the ridges are all equal, according to the method of use B, the person with stuttering can say "tsukue" without making them particularly conscious. It is possible to advantageously carry out training in which words consisting of three sounds are spoken at a constant tempo.

-Method C of using training device 10 for stuttering correction shown in FIGS. 1 to 5-
In this method of use, it is assumed that the person with stuttering is notified in advance to say "thank you". In addition, the person with stuttering is instructed in advance to release the finger from the training device 10 after the finger reaches the portion (colored portion 18d) marked with the mark 20c.

The placement of the training device 10 for the person with stuttering, and the utterance of the "a" sound, "ri" sound and "ga" sound of "thank you" are the above-described usage method A (first step to fourth step) , or in the same manner as in method B (first step to fourth step).

After uttering the "ga" sound, remove the finger placed on the colored part 18d from the training device 10, and utter the "to" sound and the "u" sound with the finger removed from the training device 10. (fifth step).

Usage method B involves moving the fingers on the training device 10 until the final sound is uttered. Although this is suitable as a method for training utterances at a constant tempo, the uttered sound lacks inflection. Some listeners may feel some discomfort. On the other hand, in the method of use C, when uttering the last two sounds (the "to" sound and the "u" sound), the finger is intentionally removed from the training device 10 to allow the user to speak naturally. , using the training device 10 according to the usage method C provides useful training for the stuttering-impaired person to acquire natural intonation.

-Method D of using training device 30 for stuttering correction shown in FIGS. 6 to 10-
First, the training device 30 for stuttering correction is placed in front of the person with stuttering, more specifically, so that the person with stuttering is on the lower side in the vertical direction in FIG. For example, a person with a stuttering is seated on a chair, and the training device 30 is placed on a desk placed in front of the chair so that the person with a stuttering can see it as shown in FIG. It is arranged at a position where the right hand (or left hand) of the disabled person can easily reach the training device 30. - 特許庁

Next, the finger (for example, the index finger) of the right hand (or left hand) of the person with a stuttering is moved from the left end mark 40a (the mark consisting of the letters "start") of the training device 30 toward the ridge portion 36a, and the colored portion 38a. After reaching the vicinity of the protrusion 36a, the finger is moved over the protrusion 36a, and the finger is moved between the protrusion 36a and the protrusion 36b from the start of movement of the finger. Until just before touching the surface of (on the colored part 38b), the person with stuttering utters the first sound "tsu" of "tsukue" with a long sound (first step).

Immediately after the finger of the stuttering person touches the colored part 38b (on the surface between the ridges 36a and 36b), the second sound of ``tsukue'', ``ku'', Let the person with stuttering speak in short sounds (second step).

After the speech in the second step described above, the finger of the person with stuttering jumps over the ridge 36b to the surface between the ridge 36b and the ridge 36c (on the colored portion 38c). (third step).

Then, immediately after the finger of the person with stuttering touches the colored portion 38c (on the surface between the ridges 36b and 36c), the third syllable of ``tsukue'' is the sound of ``e''. is uttered by the person with stuttering in short vowels (fourth step).

As described above, in the training device 30, the distance L1 between the left end of the training device 30 and the ridge 36a is longer than the distance d2 between the adjacent ridges. In the usage method D described above, it becomes easier to utter the first syllable with a long syllable. In addition, when the instructor instructs to "extend the sound and speak", such instruction is abstract especially for infants and the like, and it is difficult to understand. In , since it is made to speak while moving the fingers, it is possible for the person with stuttering to "stretch out the sound and speak" easily. It is expected to suppress the occurrence of various symptoms.

-How to use the stuttering correction training device 30 shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 E-
In this method of use, it is assumed that the person with stuttering is notified in advance to say "thank you". In addition, the person with stuttering is instructed in advance to release the finger from the training device 30 after the finger reaches the portion (colored portion 38c) marked with the mark 40b.

The placement of the training device 30 for the person with stuttering and the utterance of the "a" sound, "ri" sound and "ga" sound of "thank you" are the above-described usage method D (first step to fourth step) Carry out in the same way as

After uttering the "ga" sound, the finger on the colored part 38c is removed from the training device 30, and with the finger removed from the training device 10, a "to" sound and a "u" sound are produced. to speak.

In the usage method E, when the user utters the "to" sound and the "u" sound, the user intentionally separates the finger from the training device 30 to make the user speak naturally, so the training device 30 is repeatedly used according to the usage method E Doing is a useful exercise for people who stutter to acquire natural intonation.

Although the method of using the training device for stuttering correction according to the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that the training device of the present invention can be used in ways other than those described above.
