Greetings! I am a budding SLP and Master’s Student and NYU and I was thrilled to read of your creativity to treat Fluency in a school setting, despite the structures and limitations a school setting may pose (vs. private practice). I think it is excellent that you would work on control by having the child engage in voluntary stuttering. Your philosophy aligns with many of the principles discussed within my current coursework. I am curious to know, given your expertise, how would you treat (or have treated in the past) secondary behaviors? Particularly extreme and disruptive secondaries such as jerking body movements and head rolls/eye blinks. Associated with the stuttering.
