Katie, Sorry...all ages have been included in utilizing this strategy. The youngest have probably been about 4 on topics like snow skiing, T ball, and dinosaurs. The oldest has been a life-long person who stutters who has also been diagnosed with Parkinson's, so there's some neurogenic components. The topic used with this client was poetry and we used strategies about prosody, inflection, breath support etc to work on the motoric pieces. Any topic can be broken into these 5 areas, so it's very useful for all ages.
