“…These studies, however, were always small. A recent experimental study [47] The choice for early stuttering treatment investigated the Palin PCI-approach, the Lidcombe Program and a combined approach indicating that the Lidcombe Program and the combined approach resulted in more fluent speech. Millard and Davis [48] also assessed the psychometric properties of the Palin Parent Rating Scales.…”

Introduction: Little is known about the clinical decision-making process that speech-language pathologists( (SLPs) make when they decide which treatment approach they will use with Preschool age Children who Stutter (PCWS). Frequently used approaches are the Lidcombe Program, RESTART-DCM, Mini-KIDS, the Palin Parent-Child Interaction program and the Social-Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. In this study, we explored which attributes play a role in the complex process that precedes this clinical decision. We also explored if SLPs from the Netherlands, who are expected to follow the recommendations formulated in the Dutch professional stuttering guidelines, use different treatment approaches than SLPs from Belgium, who do not have specific guidelines to follow. Finally, we explored whether the number of years of experience of SLPs had an impact on the choice for treatment. Methods: This study used an observational design in which 36 SLPs, additionally qualified in the treatment of stuttering, completed a questionnaire. The SLPs spoke Dutch, resided in the Netherlands or Belgium and used more than one treatment approach for PCWS in their standard practice. Results: The following attributes affected the choice for treatment approach of most SLPs: (1) the child’s reactions to the stuttering, (2) the child’s language (and speech) skills, (3) the child’s age, (4) the family’s lifestyle, (5) the parent’s ease to understand a treatment approach as judged by the SLPs and (6) the amount and quality of published research-based evidence. The decision-making of experienced SLPs is significantly more affected by the child’s stuttering severity and time since onset compared to less experienced SLPs (both U = 90, p = .05). Dutch SLPs did not take other attributes into account than Belgian SLPs. Discussion/Conclusion: This study was a first attempt to explore which attributes affect the decision for a specific treatment. Further prospective research is needed.

“…Other existing therapeutic programs for stuttering children, such as the family-focused stuttering program, the demand and capacity program, and the early intervention program do not provide a specific protocol for initiating or delaying stuttering therapy in preschool children [11,[18][19][20]. There is a wealth of evidence that stuttering treatment is useful in the treatment of preschool-age children and acts superior to spontaneous recovery [21,22].…”

Introduction:Recent studies suggest that treatment should be begun immediately in children who have recently started to stutter. The purpose of this study was to design a telehealth application for parents of young children who stutter. It is an evidence-based treatment that can be administered from an early age compared to the current "wait and see" approaches. Materials and Methods:This research involved a qualitative content analysis. At first, a comprehensive review was performed on different well-established therapeutic programs, and their main therapeutic components were extracted via several sessions held by our focused group. Subsequently, six independent stuttering experts and five parents of stutter children were asked to rate the program's items regarding its content and face validities by a 5-point Likert questionnaire. Finally, the entire program was used to form an easy to use, familyfriendly software.Results: Seven therapeutic principles and five common factors were extracted from all available well-established stuttering treatment programs. They were designed in an easy to use software program. The final telehealth program was found to have a high face and content validities. Conclusion:This program might be used in future clinical practice for stuttering children under the age Four. However, its efficacy has yet to be examined.

“…The literature describes different intervention strategies and methods. Some authors recognize two intervention methods (the direct and indirect ones) 11,12 , while others recognize three (adding the combined method to the other two) 13 . In indirect methods, therapists aim to minimize family concerns and stress and understand their feelings and then help parents or caregivers change how they interact with children, implementing behaviors and settings (or environments) that make their speech fluency easier -for instance, speaking more slowly with them and respecting each person's turn to speak 14 .…”

Purpose: to describe intervention methodologies implemented in recent years in stuttering children. Methods: a search was performed for empirical articles on interventions in stuttering children aged 2.5 to 7 years. The search was carried out in Embase, WOS, Pubmed, and Scopus, considering articles published between January 2014 and June 2020. Literature Review: 11 articles were selected out of the 1,099 retrieved. Different approaches were observed, of which the Lidcombe program showed the most evidence. Most studies were conducted on English-speaking children and participants were assessed regarding linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. All studies considered parental involvement in the intervention. No investigation took measurements for more than 24 months. Individual interventions predominated. Conclusion: good therapeutic results were found in all reviewed interventions. Research comparing two types of treatments did not find one to be superior to the other.
