Clinicians continue to be anxious about the assessment and treatment of dysfluency, but all the evidence suggests that early intervention is of primary importance in preventing long-term chronic stuttering. This practical programme aims to provide the means to assess the child's speech and language and the family life-style, to identify the children at risk and to plan appropriate treatment for the child concerned.
