Jessica, I have no data on how many school-based SLPs are using parent-centered approaches, but I do know several who do include parent training as part of their treatment for children. There are a number of good resources for treating preschool and early school age children that focus on family therapy. The book, "Practical intervention for early childhood stammering Palin PCI approach"--PCI stands for Parent Child Interaction)by Kelman Nicholas (Speechmark Publishing, 2008) is an excellent resource. Scott Yaruss and his colleagues have some wonderful information on the website for The Stuttering Center of Western Pennsylvania regarding their parent program. Those are just two good resources that you might want to consult. Best regards, Lynne
