This book provides a clear overview of what stammering is, addressing the observable features, the cognitive and emotional aspects of stammering, as well as the impact that a stammer can have on a person’s life. Using a multi-factorial approach, the current research regarding the physiological, psychological, language, speech motor and environmental factors which influence stammering are explored. The key principles of working with people who stammer are explained, championing client-centred, collaborative and evidence-based practise.
Chapters cover the assessment process and therapy options for children, young people and adults, sharing practical ideas and information for each age group across the lifespan, as well as information on cluttering and acquired stammering. Drawing on the knowledge and experience of the two authors, both specialist speech and language therapists working at the Michael Palin Centre, and enriched with case studies and quotes from people who stammer, this book balances research, theory, and practical clinical examples, making it the perfect beginner’s guide.
Providing a comprehensive, evidence-based and accessible introduction to stammering, this book is ideal for speech and language therapy students, newly qualified therapists, health professionals, and anyone interested in understanding more about stammering.
