Item Facilitating transfer and maintenance in school-aged children who stutter : a guidebook for clinicians(2014-05) Wong, Allison Mei-Li; Byrd, Courtney T.This report was developed to: a) enhance the clinician’s understanding of transfer and maintenance as it relates to stuttering, b) explore the unique challenges that face the school-aged population, c) examine research outside of the field that may be of benefit for school-aged stuttering clients, and d) provide the clinician with examples and activities that will facilitate the transfer and maintenance of stuttering treatment. The report will include a brief discussion of transfer and maintenance. The remainder of the report will focus on facilitating transfer and maintenance by increasing motivation, self-efficacy, realistic goal setting, and self-regulation.Item Mindfulness and acceptance based treatments for children who stutter : a clinical guide(2015-05) van Hee, Leah Jean Arnell; Byrd, Courtney T.; Hampton, ElizabethA growing number of researchers have suggested Mindfulness and Acceptance Based Treatments (MABT) for persons who stutter. Although classical cognitive behavioral therapy is commonly applied in stuttering treatment, proponents argue MABT may be particularly well suited to meet the needs of persons who stutter. The proposed benefits of MABT for persons who stutter include decreased avoidance, emotional reactivity, and disfluency. To date, investigations of MABT with persons who stutter have largely focused on the adult population. The following report examines theory and research to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of MABT with children who stutter (CWS).Item Support groups for people who stutter : the role and perspective of speech-language pathologists(2013-05) Dunaway, Laura Susan; Byrd, Courtney T.In an effort to improve understanding of the role that support groups such as the National Stuttering Association (NSA) play in helping people who stutter, speech-language pathologists who participate in the NSA were asked to participate in a research survey. Previous research and anecdotal evidence has shown that support groups not only benefit people who stutter, but also the professionals who work with them. Participation in the NSA can enhance SLPs' understanding of stuttering, and their comfort level and competence working with people who stutter. However, the relationship between support groups and professionals has not been adequately studied.
