Management of Stuttering in Adolescence A

The majority of adolescent stutters have a long history of dysfluency and as they approach the final years of their schooling they may become apprehensive about their future, particulary in relation to further education, career options, job interviews etc. The treatment of this age group is further complicated by the experience of adolescence itself, and the problems presented by this group are very different to those posed by young children or adults who stutter.This book presents a Communication Skills Approach to the treatment of adolescent stuttering which has been developed over many years of clinical experience.

Lena Rustin is the author of Management of Stuttering in Adolescence : A Communication Skills Approach, published by Wiley. Robert Spence is the author of Management of Stuttering in Adolescence : A Communication Skills Approach, published by Wiley.
