Cluttering is a communication disorder where speech sounds overly rapid, or contains rapid bursts, together with poorly articulated or jerky speech. Cluttered speech typically sounds rushed and disorganized.

Managing Cluttering: A Comprehensive Guidebook of Activities is designed to help speech-language pathologists address the needs of their clients with cluttering. This straightforward, easy-to-understand approach to assessing and treating cluttering provides:

• evidence-based rationale for activities used
• step-by-step instructions on treatment methods
• easily reproducible parent letters and client home activities
• special chapters on cluttering and stuttering and on cluttering combined with other diagnoses

Managing Cluttering is a useful resource for speech-language pathologists working in any setting, and with clients of any age. Reproducible worksheets, home activities, and parent letters are included as reproducible PDFs on the CD-ROM and in the manual.

Target group: school-age children, adolescents, and adults diagnosed with cluttering
