This fully revised edition is an indispensable reference for those working with children and young people who stammer. The new structure and title reflect advances in the field of stammering and the growing influence of the social model. This third edition combines the hands-on approach of previous editions with updated theory and interventions, references, graphics and practical resources.
The book:
Provides a thorough introduction to the theories and causes behind stammering and cluttering, and the impact stammering can have throughout people's lives
Covers a comprehensive range of internationally recognised interventions and practical resources that easily fit into clinical work
Guides the reader on how to individualise their approach depending on what is important to the particular family and discusses a range of outcome measures
Includes advice for working in different educational settings from nurseries to secondary school and guidance on working in groups and when there are additional complexities
Encourages the reader to reflect on their own practice and context and to develop guiding principles.
Extensively updated throughout and drawing on new theory and cases studies, this adaption of the classic Working with Dysfluent Children is an essential read for all speech and language therapists who work with children who stammer, whatever their level of experience.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"At last! A 3rd edition of the Working with Children and Young People who Stammer. The publication of this book will be welcomed by students and specialist clinicians alike, as many of the volumes in the Working With series are the staple texts for those looking for well researched, up to date content with practical ideas.
What the book is not is one written from a particular theoretical perspective or one written by an advocate of one approach. Rather it is a comprehensive but detailed discussion of the range of options open to children, young people and their families. The content covers all a student, generalist or specialist clinician would wish for: theories, therapeutic skills, (including a detailed section on Solution Focused Brief therapy), assessment/decision making, supporting children & families, group work, working with educational settings, outcomes, and service delivery.
The strength of the writing is demonstrated in Isabel's frequent inclusion of case examples and references to her experience. Of particular value to readers will be the online resources with sections on assessment, support, group work, working with schools and case examples of assessment.
I commend this text and am sure it will be a well-thumbed, valuable addition to the libraries of speech and language courses and departments, as well as individual therapists." - Dr Trudy Stewart, Co-author of the 2nd edition and Retired Consultant Speech and Language Therapist
