In order to offer a key to enter the world of girls and boys who stutter, Stuttering in adolescence is divided into two volumes:
The comic
For the adolescent who stutters, fitting into the various realities of the social fabric can be complex and the comparison with others can cause discomfort and suffering. For this reason, a child who stutters may choose a child younger than him/her as a best or only friend. Just like in the comic, where Zack establishes an exclusive bond with Benny, who is a few years younger than him and with whom he feels comfortable, while not bonding with any of his peers. This description is representative of the social life that a teenager who stutters often experiences.
Comics are an expressive form that has the advantage of speaking to everyone: to children, adults, pupils and teachers, children and parents. The transition from a stutterer to a person who stutters is after all a surprising path, which makes unexpressed potential flourish in those who live the experience, but also in those people (parents, clinicians, fellow peers) who have the fundamental task of accompanying the child who stutters during this journey.
The guide
Rich in scientific and practical references, the guide is proposed as a practical and complete starting point and examines the MIDA approach: an approach that considers the multidimensionality of the disorder, the individuality of the person, integrating individual speech therapy with group therapy and with the use of mediated arts activities.
FIRST PART – Stuttering and adolescence: what we know, what “they say” and how to intervene
Ch. 1 What is a stutter?
Ch. 2 Working with a child who stutters: building a network
Ch. 3 Humour: a winning weapon, even for those who stutter
SECOND PART – A cartoon to learn about the world of the boy who stutters. Working tips to intervene effectively
Stuttering is not just a speech difficulty—it is a complex experience involving emotions, thoughts, and social interactions. For those who experience it, speaking can become a source of anxiety, while for parents, educators, and therapists, providing the right support can be a challenge.
The volumes Verbal Fluency and Stuttering in Adolescence offer innovative and practical tools to address fluency disorders at two crucial stages of development: school age and adolescence. These resources help children and teenagers approach communication with greater ease, acceptance, and self-confidence.
Verbal Fluency
Activities for the treatment of stuttering in school-age children
This volume presents an integrated therapeutic approach, helping children develop smoother communication by overcoming the anxiety and challenges associated with stuttering.
Combining theory and practice, the book guides speech therapists, educators, and parents through a path of awareness, directly involving the family in the treatment process.
