Abstract Project
Each student will select a clinical area in stuttering. Students will develop a clinical question on a contemporary issue in stuttering and abstract 10-15 research articles accordingly.
Speech Fluency Analysis
Each student will be responsible for conducting an analysis of an individual who stutters.
Field Project
Each student will be expected to experience the inner feelings of stuttering. This can be accomplished by participating in an activity in which the student pretends to stutter in an unfamiliar place and with unfamiliar people.
Review Project
Students are expected to present an oral presentation on a diagnostic or therapy program. Each individual will review an evaluation instrument and procedures or a treatment program, strategies and procedures.
