Working With Children and Young People Who Stammer - Practical Approaches to Assessment and Therapy

This fully revised edition is an indispensable reference for those working with children and young people who stammer. The new structure and title reflect advances in the field of stammering and the growing influence of the social model. This third edition combines the hands-on approach of previous editions with updated theory and interventions, references, graphics and practical resources.
The book:

• Provides a thorough introduction to the theories and causes behind stammering and cluttering, and the impact stammering can have throughout people's lives
• Covers a comprehensive range of internationally recognised interventions and practical resources that easily fit into clinical work
• Guides the reader on how to individualise their approach depending on what is important to the particular family and discusses a range of outcome measures
• Includes advice for working in different educational settings from nurseries to secondary school and guidance on working in groups and when there are additional complexities
• Encourages the reader to reflect on their own practice and context and to develop guiding principles.

Extensively updated throughout and drawing on new theory and cases studies, this adaption of the classic Working with Dysfluent Children is an essential read for all speech and language therapists who work with children who stammer, whatever their level of experience.
