EBP in Fluency for Universities: Assessment/Management GILCU, Transfer and Maintenance

Bruce Ryan and Betty McMicken

The Ryan Fluency Program is an evidence-based treatment and accompanying skills (e.g., counting stuttered words), assessment (Fluency Interview) and treatment: Establishment (Gradual Increase in Length and Complexity of Utterance (GILCU)) transfer, and maintenance procedures. Data/evidence will be provided on using this program in a university training center. A self-instructional package for teachers/supervisors to use with their prospective student clinicians will be discussed and one set of all materials will be provided free to the teachers who agree to use them and provide feedback. Follow-up will be both expected from teachers and offered to them throughout the year.
