Fluency (Stuttering) Therapy is an area that I have heard many colleagues report that they are not comfortable treating for a wide variety of reasons.
- I do not feel that I had enough training
- I have had very few students that stutter on my caseload (or it has been years and I lack the experience)
- I do not want to do more harm than good and fluency therapy has an emotional component
- I would not even know where to really start – we did not go over in detail the different treatment options or techniques
Check out these ten Fluency freebies that I found to help get you started.
