Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between stuttering and speaking rates in a 9-year-old female child who stuttered. A single-subject experimental design was used to investigate the effect on stuttering of increasing and decreasing speaking rate. The experiment was followed by a treatment program that incorporated a control over speaking rate (based on the experimental data) and procedures designed to promote the transfer of treatment benefits. The speaking rate control program emphasized relatively slow (but not prolonged) speech which was gradually speeded up and included contingencies that were demonstrated to be effective and efficient in contributing to treatment effects. Data are also provided that demonstrate that the treatment effects generalized to beyond-clinic speaking conditions.
