This study examined the effectiveness of using a comprehensive approach to stuttering with school-age children who stutter (CWS) during an intensive 5-day clinic. Procedures and outcomes from a 5-day intensive stuttering clinic are reported from 5 school-age CWS. Initial and final data from the Stuttering Severity Instrument-4th edition (SSI-4) and the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experiences of Stuttering (OASES) were compared. Individual comparisons showed that 4 out of the 5 clients demonstrated a decrease from initial to final total scores on the SSI-4 and OASES. These findings represent pilot data that can help inform future research studies related to examining the effectiveness of a comprehensive approach to stuttering. Results provide support that this comprehensive approach was beneficial in reducing aspects of stuttering severity and the negative life impact of stuttering for these participants.
