Suppose that a colleague approached you for advice concerning a student who stuttered. What advice would you offer her/him?
Answers will vary but may include one or more of the following points described on pages 279-280 of the textbook:
• Don't anticipate what the student wants to say and finish for her. Listen actively, letting the student work through the stuttering moment on her own.
• Consistently model a relaxed and unhurried speaking style. Avoid telling her to "slow down" or "relax."
• Ask the student what strategies she uses to speak more fluently. It is okay to speak individually with the student about her stuttering.
• Create silences in your interactions.
• Model typical nonfluencies.
• Establish conversational rules.
• Show acceptance of what the child expresses rather than how it is said.
• Follow the child's conversational lead.
• Maintain eye contact.
• Provide specific and encouraging feedback.
