Dear Lindsay, Thanks for the kind words and your question. I'm pasting in my response above to Emily who basically asked the same question. "I have not used this procedure directly with children, but I'm sure you could find ways to adapt it to them. For a few years, we ran a summer camp for children who stuttered, but have not continued it due to difficulty in getting parents to commit to taking a full week to have their children come. Vacation, sports, etc. always seemed to be a problem. I have a poster session presented by two colleagues, Melinda Kayira and Susan Woods, and myself at the West Virginia Speech-Language-Hearing Association Convention in 2007. I'd be happy to send that to you off line if you'd like to write to me at <kstlouis@wvu.edu>. It describes a group experience for children and their parents with a focus primarily on desensitization and insight with a secondary focus on speech skills." I believe I also indicated to another person that it can be adapted for individual therapy as well. Best wishes, Ken
