We are excited to announce the soon-to-be-released fully revised second edition of School-Age Stuttering Therapy: A Practical Guide.
We wrote it with you (our fellow SLPs) in mind
Every day we get questions from SLPs around the world. We wrote this guide for our colleagues who frequently ask:
- “What should I assess beyond observable stuttering?"
- "How do I write meaningful goals?"
- "How do I support easier communication without suggesting that stuttering is something that must be fixed?" And
- "How do I help families, teachers, and school teams understand what effective, stutter-affirming therapy really looks like?"
Our NEW edition walks you through the entire process, from assessment, report writing, and goal choice, to therapy, collaboration, and dismissal.
There is no programmed approach here! Instead, School-Age Stuttering Therapy: A Practical Guide - Second Edition helps you understand how to make informed clinical decisions based on each student’s needs, experiences, and goals.
What you can expect: A Stutter-Affirming Approach for Today’s SLP
Effective stuttering therapy is about spontaneous, authentic communication. The fully revised second edition helps SLPs address the complete experience of stuttering, including communication, thoughts, feelings, participation, confidence, and adverse impact.
Throughout the book, you will find practical examples, sample goals, therapy activities to help you feel more informed, more prepared, and more confident as you support children and teens who stutter.
Each chapter of this comprehensive, clinical guide is designed to help you:
- Conduct comprehensive evaluations.
- Determine eligibility for services.
- Write individualized, attainable goals.
- Address stuttering, emotions, participation, and quality of life.
- Respond to parent and teacher concerns.
- Document meaningful progress.
- Know when therapy should continue—and when it may be time for dismissal.
We know SLPs need materials they can use—not just ideas they can read about. That is why the new edition includes more than 50 reproducible and printable forms and worksheets. We designed these resources to help you structure evaluations, guide therapy discussions, engage students, support self-reflection, and bring stutter-affirming principles into everyday practice.
And of course, the second edition will also be available digitally through the STR Online Portal.
