Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of an assertiveness training program on the stuttering rates of three young adults. Components of the training program included instruction, modeling, behavior rehearsal, feedback, social reinforcement, and homework. Results of a multiple baseline analysis indicated that implementation of the training program corresponded to a decrease in the stuttering rates exhibited by two of the three subjects. These results are discussed with reference to future research to determine client variables that suggest the use of assertiveness training.
