Dear Professors,
A friend of our family has an eleven year old boy with severe stutter to the extent that he is starting to skip school when he has to give oral reports. There do not appear to be any competent stuttering therapists in his area.
After reading the ISAD4 paper "Directed Self-Help Stuttering Therapy With A Motivated Teenage Boy, Predominantly By Email by Gerald Johnson and Eric, I came up with a bright :-) or maybe not so bright :-) idea:
What do you think of having this boy treated in an intensive three week program and have a long distance, long duration follow up therapy either via e-mail or telephone?
What is the probability of this type of program working for him? What outcome is reasonable to expect?
And, most importantly, do you know any individual or organization that would be willing to provide this type of service? I would also appreciate any other pertinent details OR an e-mail address/website where more information could be obtained.
