Students learn the “feel of slow speech” as they practice easy movements of the articulators during speech production. Special features include easy-to-use tasks for assessing fluency, high-interest lessons, a short story audio CD with lively songs that reinforce “easy speech,” and a full-color game board. The program was developed based on a review of researchbased therapy approaches that have been found to be effective in improving fluency. Strategies to promote forward-flowing speech and a reduction in speaking rate serve as a basis for many of the lessons. FLAIR is designed to improve self-monitoring of speech and to promote transfer to real-life situations by engaging the support of parents, teachers, and others. Key components of the approach are the following: • Rate reduction • Forward-moving speech • Self-monitoring • Establishing an ideal speaking rate • Facilitating transfer The book offers a comprehensive collection of reproducible assessment tools including the Classroom Fluency Questionnaire, Fluency Questionnaire for Parents, Disfluency Analysis form, Pragmatic Assessment of Fluency, and instruments for the direct assessment of fluency.
