Wagaman, Joel R.; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v28 n2 p233-34 Sum 1995

This 3.5 year follow-up study concerns a behavioral treatment of stuttering for children aged 9 to 14 years, which involved awareness training, use of a competing response, and social support. Six of seven participants continued to be at or below the criterion of three percent stuttered words. Stuttering increased for one child, but remained far below the baseline. (Author/SW)
