Profilaktyka i wczesna interwencja w jąkaniu u małych dzieci

Abstract

Early intervention in young children who stutter is indicated as an effective approach by research and practice in the field. However, there is a need for the child to be supported by her/his entire environment. The article discusses the forms of action that can and should be taken by parents, speech-language therapists, teachers, and educators. The article emphasizes the importance of an adequate relationship that should be established between these persons. It is pointed out how important they are for success in prevention and early intervention of stuttering in young children — both individually and in groups interacting with each other. Referring to the decision streams based on chronic stuttering risk factors by P. Zebrowski (1997), the authors also present some early intervention strategies that can be used by SLT’s.
