Palin PCI
Palin Parent-Child Interaction (PEI) therapy is an early intervention approach developed for stuttering. In this family-based approach to stuttering therapy, the therapist begins in the clinical setting by involving parents in the therapy process. This method, which is used especially in children who have started to stutter between the ages of 2-7, was developed by speech and language therapists working on stuttering at the Michele Palin Center in London.
PROMPT©
Activating the mouth and surrounding muscles for restructuring, that is, the PROMPT method, in short, is a method applied by giving stimulus to the speech muscles in some problems caused by the inability to produce speech sounds.

Lidcombe Erken Dönem Kekemelik Programı
Lidcombe Programı, 6 yaşından küçük ve kekeleyen çocuklar için davranışsal bir terapi programıdır. Terapi programı, çocuğun günlük ortamında bir ebeveyn veya bakıcı tarafından uygulanır. Ebeveynler, dil ve konuşma terapistiyle yapılan haftalık ziyaretler sırasında tedavinin terapinin nasıl yapılacağını öğrenirler. Bu ziyaretler sırasında dil ve konuşma terapisti, ebeveyne terapinin çeşitli özelliklerini göstererek, ebeveyni terapiyi yaparken gözlemleyerek ve ebeveynlere terapinin nasıl gittiğine dair geri bildirimde bulunarak ebeveyne öğretir. Bu ebeveyn eğitimi önemlidir, çünkü terapi programının uygun şekilde yapılmasını ve çocuk ve aile için olumlu bir deneyim olmasını sağlamak dil ve konuşma terapistinin sorumluluğundadır.
