Following Up on Treated Stutterers: Studies of Perceptions of Fluency and Job Status.

Craig, A. R.; Calver, P.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v34 n2 p279-84 Apr 1991

Four studies evaluated perceptions of fluency of persons who had been treated with the "smooth speech" fluency shaping technique. The studies examined (1) client satisfaction with treatment; (2) increased employment opportunities for program completers; (3) employer perceptions of employees' speech quality; and (4) possible determinants of relapse in a population of treated stutterers.
