Emotional Components of Therapy:
- Practice desensitization activities outside of the room by having the child pseudo-stutter (on purpose) in other situations.
- Have the child talk to others that he trusts about how he feels about stuttering.
- Have the child practice self-disclosure about his stuttering to others around him.
Fluency and Stuttering Strategies
- Send homework where the child must read sentences with specific strategies in different settings (at school, at home).
- Have the child pick specific times during the day that he will practice a specific fluency-shaping strategy and have adults remind him.
- Give him one stuttering-modification strategy to try every time he stutters between your sessions and have him write/talk about how it went.
- Create a cue that a trusted adult or peer can give him to remind him to use a strategy.
