50 Great Activities for Children Who Stutter is a refreshing, practical manual for professionals working with school-age children who stutter. The author’s experience as a person who stutters, as a speech–language pathologist, and as a frequent volunteer for self-help organizations has well prepared him to create 50 ingenious, easy-to-use activities, most including several possible adaptations. The presentation of the activities is down-to-earth and includes step-by-step directions, as well as delightful dialogue to use with the kids. You also get a number of activities specifically designed for therapy groups composed of children who stutter and children with language disorders.
 
The 50 activities are divided into five categories and include reproducible homework and handouts:
  • Identifying and Exploring Stuttering
  • Practicing Speech Tools
  • Learning the Facts
  • Uncovering Feelings
  • Targeting Language and Stuttering Goals
 
The activities are the meat of the book, but three other sections should not be missed: What You Need to Know About Stuttering, Your Tools for Successful Therapy, and the Appendixes.
In addition to nearly 400 pages packed with great ideas, a CD-ROM is also included with all the homework assignments, handouts, and awards so that you waste no time getting started in therapy as soon as you receive your book.
