Stuttering in school-age children can be one of the more challenging disorders for speech-language pathologists to treat. Many clinicians have wondered about the best way to help children who stutter improve their speech and their communication.

The workshop begins with an overview of key concepts in stuttering therapy, including specific techniques for helping children to improve their speech fluency and overall communication. The presenter will then provide specific examples of treatment goals, strategies, and therapy activities that can be adapted for SLPs working in a variety of settings. Participants will come away from the workshop with a better understanding of the nature of stuttering and increased confidence in their ability to help children who stutter overcome the burden of this challenging disorder.

Following this workshop, participants will be able to:

•Selectappropriatetreatmentstrategiesfor helping children who stutter speak more easily and communicate more effectively

•Helpchildrenovercometheiremotionaland cognitive reactions to stuttering

•Design efficient and effective diagnostic evaluations of school-age children who stutter
