Letter to the Editor

Response to Blomgren, Roy, Callister, and Merrill (2005)

Bruce P. Ryan
California State University, Long Beach

Contact author: Bruce P. Ryan, Department of Communicative Disorders, California State University, Long Beach, 1250 Bellflower Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90840. E-mail: bpryan{at}csulb.edu.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this letter is to register concerns about a study reported by M. Blomgren, N. Roy, T. Callister, and R. Merrill (2005), entitled "Intensive Stuttering Modification Therapy: A Multidimentional Assessment of Treatment Outcomes." Concerns include questions about the description of the treatment, the duration of treatment time, and the results of the treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: The treatment program did not inherently lend itself to clear description (would not be easily replicable), the participants did not improve their speech fluency, and the treatment time was extensive. One must take caution in the interpretation of the results given the concerns noted.

KEY WORDS: stuttering, SSMP, treatment efficacy
