“Mark Allen is a fluency specialist who understands stuttering from both a personal
and professional perspective. His Speak Freely: Essential Speech Skills for School-Age Children Who Stutter is a valuable resource for clinicians serving children between
ages 7-18.
This resource focuses on one component of a multi-dimensional approach to therapy for stuttering: introducing stuttering modification and fluency enhancing strategies in a clear and easy-to-understand format. A Therapist's Handbook and accompanying Student Workbook provide clear explanations and practice exercises. But the accompanying audio and video demonstrations are what make this resource so valuable, not only for children who stutter, but also for clinicians and students majoring in speech-language pathology, who can view demonstrations by an experienced clinician, explaining and modeling these skills with clients while evaluating and reinforcing their responses.”
