According to the characteristics of the speech perception and the motor timing disorder of stuttering patients, a music- motor intervention program is designed and applied to the clinical practice, based on the analysis of the treatment mechanism of four key elements of stuttering. It is found that the music-motor intervention for the speech perception and the motor timing disorders of stuttering patients is effective, as a clinical treatment. The intervention goal can be achieved by improving the rhythm, the breathing, the time and the emotion of stuttering patients, in which the rhythm is the core and the emotion is the driving force. The phonetic music intervention has the unique advantage in the treatment of stuttering. The musicmotor intervention method proposed in this paper provides a reference for the development of the clinical treatment plan for music therapists.
