Reviews

We have a crisis need for helping SLPs work with children and adolescents who stutter and their families and teachers. This need is especially strong in the schools. This book will be very useful for practicing SLPs or graduate courses in stuttering. It will enhance knowledge about stuttering and improve skills in diagnostics, treatment, counseling, and goal writing. The book is well organized, is rich in practical material for diagnostics, therapy, and counseling, has 'state of the art' information for goal writing, and has excellent references for additional learning. ?Judith Eckardt, M.S., CCC-SLP Board Recognized Fluency Specialist.

Reader-friendly and practical, Ramig and Dodge eliminate much of the mystery out of assessment and treatment for children and adolescents with fluency disorders. From assessment strategies to developing an appropriate IEP to working with parents and teachers to providing basic treatment strategies explained in Part 1, this book is already worth its weight in gold. But even more exciting is Part 2, where the authors supply references to the research data and share hundreds of treatment ideas from their own and other clinicians' experience, providing the rational and support from experts in the field of fluency disorders for each treatment goal. Students in practicum and beginning clinicians will be able to adapt an appropriate treatment plan for their clients, and experienced clinicians will find a wealth of new ideas and creative approaches. This book is a gem and belongs in every clinician's library. --Judith Kuster, Associate ProfessorMinnesota State University, Mankato
