Course Abstract
This course will focus on the assessment and treatment of stuttering in children who stutter, ranging in age from elementary to high school. A multidimensional model called CALMS will be presented and used as a foundation for making individual clinical decisions about treatment relative to cognitive, affective, linguistic, motor, and social factors. The course also will focus on a discussion how assessment data can be used to create goals and treatment activities for children who stutter. The course will include specific strategies and techniques within the framework of a multidimensional approach to treatment.

I like that this addressed components of stuttering other than just the motoric aspects. I think the CALMS model is a much more comprehensive way to assess the unique characteristics of each child and provides a solid way to evaluate progress qualitatively.

This is a wonderful framework for assessment and treatment with school age children who stutter. It has provided me with some of the missing links that I was searching for in my therapy with these students. He is clearly very skilled in this area and was able to communicate the important aspects of stuttering treatment directly and consisely!Much appreciation!!!!! Very helpful!

I love that the model Healey is teaching is a colaboration of many different components and is all supported by many researchers over the many years of research. I really appreciate the model and I am lookingforward to using it in my assessment and therapeutic activities. I also feel that parents will view this model as not only educational but helpful in implementing strategies at home as well. This was very helpful.

The content of Dr. Healey's course is very comprehensive and contains critical components needed with my current caseload. His approach makes sense and I look forward to using it with my students who stutter.

The course was great in that it showed me how to incorporate drawings into discussing how a student feels while they are talking. Fluency to me has always been an area that is difficult to address in therapy as well as helping my clinical fellows. This was a great piece to incorporate.

The material was presented in a way that was easy to follow even though the presenter usually has much longer to speak about the topic. He did not appear to have a problem in getting the objectives across. I have found with some other courses I have taken that presenters seem flustered by the time factor. Excellent information, easy to understand and follow!

I liked the tips about how to help kids discuss and deal with emotions (having them draw pictures, "paper toss" of emotions, writing feeling about various speech tasks, etc). I also thought the CALMS model was explained well and is very good assessment tool.
