ABSTRACT
With recent changing trends in healthcare delivery and reimbursement, the focus on
more efficient and cost-effective intervention has become increasingly important.
A summary of desired clinician skills and responsibilities reported in the literature
are presented along with information on structuring group intervention. Preliminary
findings and a rationale for conducting speech therapy in a group environment with
several adults who stutter are presented. In addition, findings and perceptions gleaned
from the authors' experience in conducting group treatment with persons who stutter
are also discussed.
KEY WORDS
