Primer for Stuttering Therapy, A
Book details
Summary
Description
Like physiotherapy, stuttering therapy is often based on the notion that Òpractice makes perfect.Ó It is viewed by many practitioners as a purely physical disorder that can be improved by a standard regimen of treatment. But the fact is that attaining fluency is not the same as physiotherapy. There are many emotional barriers to successful fluency which must be explored. Based upon the authorÕs 24 years of professional experience, SchwartzÕs book presents a comprehensive stuttering therapy program in an easy-to-understand fashion. This is an innovative video/book package that allows readers to actually view the techniques discussed in the book on videotape. The skills for achieving fluency are broken down into a number of easy to follow components which are then demonstrated and discussed on the video. The emphasis is not only on speech skills, but also on the emotional perspectives associated with stuttering. To that end, there is an entire chapter devoted to counseling, and examples throughout every chapter that deal with speech and emotional development. Speech pathologists, audiologists, educators, counselors, teachers, parents, and people with stuttering problems. A Longwood Professional Book
