Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a multidimensional behavioral treatment package (modified regulated breathing method, easy speech, modification of parental attitudes) for child stutterers. The percentage of stuttered syllables, speech rate, and severity ratings served as dependent variables. Four stutterers, between 6 and 9 years old, were included in a multiple baseline design across individuals. Results showed that clinically significant changes (less than 3% of stuttered/ syllables) were observed in 3 subjects at the end of treatment (between 12 and 24 sessions), with improvement maintained at a 6-month follow-up. This multi-dimensional treatment is discussed in terms of its clinical components for child stutterers.
