Описание: https://www.speechandlanguagekids.com...

Current research tells us that the most effective stuttering therapy for children is response-contingency therapy. But what is that? This video will tell you what it is and show you exactly how to do it. Great for parents of kids who stutter or speech-language pathologists.

How to conduct stuttering therapy with children

On, this episode of the speech and language kids podcast, Carrie Clark reviews the current research on stuttering therapy for children. You will also learn how to conduct this therapy yourself. Note: This information is not intended to replace the guidance of a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). Every child is different and only a licensed SLP will know exactly what kind of therapy is best for your child. This information is intended to assist SLPs with knowing the best approach to therapy to take as well as to help parents understand the therapy process.
