Stuttering, An Integration Of Contemporary Therapies (Publication - Speech Foundation Of America ; No. 16)

The Story

In recent years, most disagreement about stuttering therapy has boiled down to a preference for one of two major approaches. Some clinicians have preferred to help stutterers learn not to avoid stuttering, but to approach it and to learn to stutter in simpler and easier ways; this approach is known as stuttering modification therapy. Proponents of the fluency shaping therapy, on the other hand, teach stutterers to speak in a fluent pattern that can be gradually shaped to normal sounding speech in all situations. This book illustrates how it is both possible and desirable to integrate and coordinate these two therapeutic approaches while still retaining the advantages of both. The five chapters address: (1) comparison of stuttering modification and fluency shaping therapies; (2) preliminary comments on diagnostic and treatment procedures; (3) the high school and adult stutterer; (4) the elementary school child who stutters; and (5) the preschool child who stutters.
