Specific topics include; conducting comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, qualifying children for therapy, writing appropriate therapy goals, helping children learn to speak and communicate more easily, reducing negative emotional and cognitive reactions to stuttering, enhancing communication effectiveness, increasing participation in the classroom, and addressing advanced topics such as bullying and other challenges that children who stutter might experience. The goal is to dramatically improve outcomes for children who stutter by blending the most current research on stuttering with a real-world, practical approach to helping children who stutter.
