This carry-over/gernalization IS a really important topic. I wonder how you, Scott or Nina, feel about asking school-age clients who stutter and are being treated twice a week at the University clinic, to bring in school homework that they need to do anyway into their sessions? I have explored this a bit with school-age kids who stutter at University clinics in recent years. For some it might be motivating (a time-saver in a way) and of course for others, not so much. But one way of framing carryover and generalization is "bringing the outside in" like homework or topics of discussion, and "bringing the inside out" like making speech journals in the session that the client completes at home, practicing techniques in the real world like going to places to order, pseudo-stuttering etc. So my question is just whether you or others on this forum have had experiences using school-based homework in University clinic sessions as material with which to practice fluency shaping and or stuttering modification techniques, as a form of carryover?
