Product Description

The Child and Adolescent Stuttering Treatment and Activity Resource Guide responds to the continuing demand from speech-language pathologists for specific, hands-on activities that can be used in the evaluation and treatment of fluency disorders (stuttering and cluttering) in children. The guide provides specific decision-making information to help clinicians choose the goals to address, and provides ideas on activities and strategies that can be used to meet these goals. An applied book about therapy, it is full of practical therapeutic ideas, substantiated by solid research information and explanations.

This book was much needed and helpful as I was planning sessions for a child with some significant fluency inssues. Easy to read and easy to implement in sessions. I'm still refering to this guide on a weekly basis.
