With the nature of the internet, videos come and go, I would expect that the following videos would remain online for the foreseeable future or at least be archived for public access. Many videos will also continue to be available on loan or for purchase through different countries’ national stammering associations: The Stuttering Foundation of America has a wide range of videos including Adult Stuttering Therapy With Clinician Dr Charles Van Riper.Documentaries about Dr Joseph Sheehan and Vivian Sheehan are available from www.stutterstutter.com.The UCLA 1968 feature with Sheehan, The Iceberg of Stuttering, is archived at: https://archive.org/details/theicebergofstuttering.Transcending Stuttering, a documentary featuring Dr Philip Schneider and clients, provides realism and uplifting messages about the experience of stammering.
An Account of the Search of a Woman Who Is Verbally Impaired for Augmentative Devices to End Her Silence
Published in Mary E. Willmuth, Lillian Holcomb, Women with Disabilities: Found Voices, 2014
I have had the most treatment for stuttering so I will give it the most attention. I don’t remember just what incident prompted stuttering but I do recall my mother taking me to speech therapy at age six for articulation problems. Prolonging the vowels was emphasized at that time and still is the method most used. Stuttering therapy began for me when I was eight or nine years old. My childhood was severely limited by defective speech. Other kids laughed at me, mimicked my stutter, or refused to let me play with them-and adults were no better.

In a disorder such as developmental stuttering, it is also important to be able to evaluate the development of the disorder and establish the effectiveness of therapies that seek to alleviate its impact [8]. Previously, studies documented the positive influence of treatment on stuttering frequency and behaviour, far less attention has been paid to the effectiveness of methods used to treat stuttering in school-aged children and/or adolescent children who stutter. For example, in a 1995 issue of Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools that focused on the treatment of fluency disorders, both articles addressing school-aged children included a multi-factorial set of strategies for improving fluency, minimizing negative reactions to stuttering, and reducing the impact of stuttering on communication [9,10]. Stuttering therapy is any of the various treatment methods that attempt to reduce stuttering to some degree in an individual. There are many different methods used in the treatment of stuttering (Table 1) [11–16]. The therapeutic methods available can be roughly divided into those aiming to modify stuttering and those aiming to shape fluency [9,17]. Recently, treatments for stuttering in Turkey have focused on Stuttering Modification Therapy [18,19]. This therapy technique focuses on reducing stuttering severity by changing only the portions of speech where a person stutters. This approach attempts to reduce the severity and fear of stuttering, and to make fluency smoother, shorter, less tense and less penalizing for the patient. Moreover, Stuttering Modification Therapy strives to teach stutterers to stutter with control, rather than making the stutterer completely fluent.
The lived experience of stuttering: a synthesis of qualitative studies with implications for rehabilitation

Despite the various types of intervention, stuttering therapy is known for high relapse rates following treatment [19]. Moreover, higher levels of relapse have been found for those interventions focusing primarily on the maintenance of fluent-sounding speech compared to broader ones involving stuttering modification (learning to stutter with less physical tension and struggle) and the reduction of fear associated with stuttering [19]. Such issues mandate that we continue to both strive for improved understanding of the condition and develop better treatment programmes.
Reliability and validity of the UTBAS-TR (The Unhelpful Thoughts and Beliefs Scale-the Turkish version) in the Turkish population
Published in International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2020
The participants had no other concominant neurological or psychiatric disorders and had no previous stuttering therapy. Each participant completed the scales in two separate sessions. They were asked to complete UTBAS the first day, followed by the two validity measures the second day. Demographic data such as age, sex and educational status were collected at the beginning of the first session.
