Best-Selling Stuttering Therapy Guides
SLPs Love STR!
Early Childhood Stuttering Therapy is an amazing read and extremely practical. I don’t remember enjoying a manual like this in. . . EVER! It is informative and easy to understand—and the visuals and handouts are so useful.

Many parents and caregivers contact speech therapists because they want their children to stop stuttering. This is understandable, and no one could blame them for having this desire. Unfortunately, this is not generally something that they can have, for we know that there is no cure for stuttering in school-age children, adolescents, and adults.
