Abstract

A fluency-based programme developed for stutterers was used with a clutterer, and its effects were assessed. Pre-and post-intervention measures included dysfluencies, articulation errors, paralinguistic features, intelligibility, rate and attitude. Results indicated an overall improvement in most of the speech parameters, with particularly interesting changes in attitude. The implications of these results are discussed.
