Treatment for young children who stutter can involve strategies for working with families (to create a fluency-facilitating environment) and strategies for working directly with the child (to help the child improve speech fluency). This course will provide an overview of strategies for working with families. The goals of the early stages of treatment are to help parents identify and minimize factors in the child's environment that may affect speech fluency, while simultaneously working to ensure that a child develops healthy, appropriate attitudes toward communication.
