The Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Clinic at The University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. http://www.uiowa.edu/~wjshc/stuttering-eval.html
Who is UI SPEAKS for?
Children who stutter between ages of 6 and 12 and their families. Our goal for the program is to help children who stutter to:
· Explore what stuttering is, and what it is not
· Become aware of their own unique way of stuttering
· Identify and learn to use strategies to increase their speech fluency and change their stuttering patterns
· Provide opportunities for practice in a variety of communication situations
· Engage in group settings with other children who stutter and learn to talk openly about their speech.
Awesome program and great video!!
