SUMMARY

This paper reports the preliminary results of a project with the aim of developing models to enable small treatment sites to render a standing, consistent service of adequate quality to children who stutter. An important aspect of the project is to work on speech language therapists becoming familiar working with organizational matters in order to get the services explicitly embedded within the organization.
