This unique workshop brings together theory and practice in unique and creative ways to provide you with new tools for better results with your child and adult fluency patients. Finally you will be able to distinguish between stuttering and cluttering and get up to date state of the art treatment techniques for both. You will also be amazed to find out that the 2 seemingly different fluency disorders can co-exist in some patients who become a clutterer-stutterer and what can be done to treat these complex situations. Life span adaptations with these disorders will be discussed from childhood to adulthood with many interesting facts as well as fluency shaping factors and online groups resources. This course includes an interactive workshop of speech drills and experiencing state of the art treatment techniques for both fluency disorders. If you work with children or adults with stuttering and/or cluttering disorders, this fresh treatment centered course is for you.
