I have done the free CEU course and i got a lot out of it! It has some great suggestions of things to add to fluency therapy. One suggestion that I use is for the student to keep a fluency journal to help with thoughts and feelings related to fluency. Another tip that was given was to draw out a "speech person," showing the anatomy and physiology of speech production in a kid friendly way. For example... speech starts in the brain as a thought, brain sends message to lungs to take a deep breath to prepare for speech... It is a strategy to show the child that he or she is in control of their speech. I also love the website www.stutteringhelp.org. There is a free video that I show to my students who are working on fluency. (Click on "Just for Kids" scroll down to basketball character... video is called "Stuttering, for kids by kids" or something like this). This website also has a ton of really inexpensive materials, videos, and pamphlets for parents and teachers.
