1 WFFP-TV The Station that gives you a Voice! D|agnost|c rotoco| Ch||d]1een 8ook|ets Group & Ind|v|dua| 1reatment Ideas nandouts: ast & resent 1hanks to the many speech |anguage patho|og|sts who have g|ven t|me and ta|ents to the deve|opment of the I|uency Ir|day program! 2 Fluency Friday Plus! Fluency Friday Plus (FFP) is an intensive treatment program for children/teens who stutter.This program serves students from Kindergarten through High School and beyond.This project is a collaborative effort involving speech/language professionals from university, private practice, hospital and educational work settings.Community speech-language pathologists from each of these settings supervise graduate clinicians from Bowling Green University and the University of Cincinnati who provide the treatment during the program.The graduate clinicians receive training from the organizational team of FFP in addition to completing a course on stuttering at the graduate level. During the day and one-half event, Fluency Friday Plus activities include: !Individual & Group Treatment: The children/teens who stutter attend both individual and peer group sessions.In addition to practicing fluency targets, issues such as attitudes about speaking and the emotional aspects of dealing with a stuttering disorder area are addressed. !Role Playing/Skits: Opportunities are designed for children/teens to act out various situations concerning feelings, difficult speaking situations and dealing with comments or teasing.Skits are shared with parents at the end of the day. !Open Microphone: During the lunch hour of the first day, children/teens are encouraged to speak to the participants in the auditorium using a microphone. In this supportive environment, a number of students feel free to tell jokes and stories. !Conversational Breakfast: This breakfast is held Saturday morning to provide opportunities to practice social conversation.Eleven Conversational Stations are set up by the graduate clinicians to encourage the children/teens to practice the telephone; read out loud to a group; handle teasing; ask and answer questions; tell a story; do a one minute monologue; learn a card trick and teach it to someone; fake stuttering for one minute; persuade someone; be interviewed; and tell someone you stutter.In addition to the breakfast, the children/teens work to earn raffle tickets by interacting with other children/teens/graduate clinicians/supervisors and parents.A drawing for the baskets filled with donated items is held on Saturday morning. New in 2010 is an interactive Conversational Breakfast that involves some taking some risks!!Parent Training: An educational program for the parents, teachers and extended family members provide opportunities for parents to enter into discussions on topics of concern or interest.In addition, lectures by experts in the field of stuttering are scheduled.Topics consist of education about the causes and treatment of stuttering.Discussion also occurs on ways to help your child. 3 !Teen Panel: A group of teens who stutter meet with the parent group to answer questions and to share their experiences.This forum enables the teens to speak freely to a large, listener friendly audience who respect their courage and value their unique insights into living with stuttering. !Adults with Stuttering Speak: On Saturday morning, adults who stutter present an informal seminar to the parent group reflecting on their personal experiences growing up with stuttering, dealing with other topics generated by the parent group. !Web Page/Graduate Clinicians/Supervisors Manual: The Fluency Friday web page is updated each year and can be viewed at www.fluencyfriday.org.The web site facilitates the distribution of information about FFP including handouts used in this program.In addition to the web page, all graduate clinicians and supervisors receive a manual containing all of the handouts from FFP. Graduate clinicians are assigned to one or two CWS.Where possible, the graduate clinicians contact the professionals, the parents and the child/teen prior to FFP.During FFP, the graduate clinicians learn about various types of dysfluencies and the attitudinal part of stuttering.Graduate clinicians receive feedback from supervisors throughout the event in both written and discussion form.Supervisors are recruited from all practice settings. The supervisors participate in a training session to review the procedures, activities and forms utilized at FFP. On a final note, the Fluency Friday project was developed in 2001 due to the need for children/teens with stuttering disorders to receive intensive treatment and to interact with other students experiencing similar communication problems.The initial planning committee also felt the need for families to have support and better understanding of the disorder of stuttering.Local universities were interested in the clinical training opportunities for graduate clinicians associated with this project.Both the Ohio Speech-Language and Hearing Association and the Southwestern Ohio Speech-Language-Hearing Association have supported this project with funding.Local private donations have also contributed to FFP.However, this project could not have expanded and developed without the many speech-language pathologists who have participated on a yearly basis. Thanks to the TEAM of professionals who have made this program one with no boundaries and a wonderful place for possibilities! Diane C. Games: 2011
