These Targeting Adult Stammering cards have been developed from
clinical work with groups of adults who stammer and refined by an
established author with over 40 years of experience working with
children and adults. Each card contains a word related to an aspect
that a client will be working on in a therapy process, for example
general communication skills such as body language and facial
expression; modification of speech such as light contacts and block
modification; and psychological or cognitive processes such as
positive thinking and mindfulness. Cards can be used in individual
sessions or in group sessions, where members can be encouraged to
take an active role in providing feedback. These cards: • Provide
specific, relevant and immediate visual feedback in a way that does
not disrupt the speech or thought processes of the speaker •
Promote a collaborative therapeutic partnership amongst those in
the clinical context, developing client autonomy and dismantling
the unhelpful hierarchical therapist/client relationship. • Can
be used alongside several current approaches to stammering such as
stammer modification, ‘stammer more proudly’ and solution
focused brief therapy Containing three sets of 27 cards and five
blank cards for individualised targets, this is an essential tool
for either group or individual work with adults and teenagers who
stammer. The section on general communication can also be used with
other clients, such as those with Parkinson’s disease.

This is a comprehensive resource book for treating adults who
stammer. Completely revised and updated to take account of current
practice, this new edition draws together the latest information on
therapy for adults along with practical examples of exercises,
tasks and activities that can be used for both individual and group
programmes. With new chapters and therapy ideas, this is an
extremely useful resource for all speech & language therapists
and students working with adults who stammer. This useful resource
seeks to explain techniques for treating people who stammer and the
rationale for their use. This volume forms a catalogue of treatment
options from which clinicians may choose to use all of the
techniques or pick out particular sections according to their
clients' special requirements. The first edition of this book
proved to be a very useful tool for speech and language
professionals, and this new edition has come about largely because
clinicians, speech and language therapists and teachers have
requested it. With the inclusion of 50 photocopiable handouts and
the presentation of the chapters in the order they would use with
their own group programmes, the authors set out the principles of
therapy in such a way that the treatment techniques fit into a
clear management approach. Trudy Stewart is a specialist in
dysfluency and has been a service manager since 1986. She studied
in America and obtained her PhD in 1991. Jackie Turnbull retired
from SLT in July 2009 after 40 years in the profession, over 35 of
which were spent as a specialist in dysfluency, working with
children and adults. She also worked for many years as a staff
counsellor in a large hospital. The collaboration that has grown up
between the two of them has sparked further study in stammering.
Together they have developed a highly creative clinical practice
which has national recognition.
