Summary

"Written primarily for students and clinicians working with children who stutter aged between seven and twelve, this book presents a number of differing treatments. The contributors, in addition to describing their treatment approaches, discuss the theoretical models on which these are based and ways of measuring outcomes. With contributions from the UK, USA and Australia, this text gives a truly international perspective. A wide range of topics is covered including the issue of concomitant problems and treating children who also have learning, behavioural or cognitive problems."--BOOK JACKET.
