Stepping up to Fluency 2 Janice Pechter Ellis

This innovative program will enable your stuttering clients to produce consistently fluent speech in any therapy environment - schools, hospitals, clinics, or private practice. Two levels of programming are provided (grades K - 3rd and 4th through adult) with age-appropriate and high interest materials.

You will teach your clients five targets needed to manage stuttering:



Full Breath to sustain a short sentence



Easy Onset in initiating words beginning with vowels



Continuous Speech to eliminate choppiness



Light Contact on initial consonant sounds



Phrasing groups of words together



Regular charting of each client's performance provides systematic reinforcement and feedback for clinician and client alike. Readings, monologues, and carry-over activities center on the interests of the client, making the program highly motivating for individuals of all ages.



This program contains these reproducible materials:



Record keeping charts



Target Definitions



Worksheets for specific targets



Stories and Poems



72 Stimulus cards





Stepping Up To Fluency 2 was developed using 40 years of this author's experience working with stuttering clients age four through 51. It is her 4th book.
