Stutter Prevention Secrets: How Parents and Teachers Can Help Prevent Stuttering (or Stammering) In Children
Stuttering or stammering can cause so much emotional agony and social embarrassment for children that can last long into adulthood. This book is written for the desperate parent who truly wants to prevent or stop stuttering in their children. It is also written for the concerned teacher who has noticed a pattern of stammering in their young students and longs help prevent this from becoming a lifelong stuttering condition.
Parents and teachers will be encouraged to know that stuttering in children can be prevented and corrected in many, many cases.
This book is deeply indebted to the work of Leon Lassers, Ph.D., Speech Pathologist and Psychologist, State Department of Education, Oregon. Staff Consultant, Child Guidance Extension, University of Oregon Medical School. Member American Speech Correction Association and International Council for Exceptional Children, who developed the 8 keys to prevent stuttering in children.
