Abstract

Stuttering is a speech fluency disorder that can significantly influence the development of communication, social participation, and self-esteem in children and young people. In recent years, the literature has highlighted the importance of intensive intervention programs, including therapeutic camps that combine speech therapy, educational activities, and social experiences.
This article describes the implementation in Romania of the international program „Dream. Speak. Live.” Camp, based on the Blank Center CARE™ (Communication, Advocacy, Resiliency, Education) model. The program is developed by the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research at the University of Texas at Austin.
The paper presents a descriptive analysis of the first two editions of CARE CAMP Romania, held in 2024 and 2025 in Cluj-Napoca. It presents the characteristics of the participants, the structure of the program, the activities carried out, the resources involved, and the feedback from participants and families. The results indicate an increase in the number of participants from the first to the second edition, a high level of satisfaction among parents, and a positive impact on the communication experience of the participating children.

Keywords: stuttering, speech therapy intervention, therapeutic camp, resilience, communication, intensive interventionsy

Therapeutic approaches for addressing stuttering in school age children. Longitudinal case study

Ildi IOVANESCU
Abstract

Most frequent types of language disorders, which are common for pupils from primary school, are receptive language disorders, expressive language disorders, shuttering and language delay. Shuttering, for instance, is a complex challenge for teachers, parents and speech therapists because they have to constantly sustain the child to produce fluent speech.
The purpose of this study is to identify in which way the shuttering is influenced by the relationship between the morphological component (CML) of the verbal speech and the verbal production (PV) for the pupil from the primary school who is diagnosed with disfluency or shuttering.
Keywords: speech therapy, language disorders, stuttering, fluency, disfluency, K1-3
