Free Resource: Carrier Phrases for Stuttering Therapy

Carrier phrases are short, simple “stock” phrases we use to help kids and adults practice their skills and to transfer their therapy gains from single word to phrase levels.

We use carrier phrases a lot in speech therapy to bridge the gap between single word drills and self-generated sentences. This can help clients to transfer their skills from the clinic into the real world.

For example, in the last few months, we’ve used carrier phrases with children who stutter and are being treated with the Lidcombe or Westmead Programs for childhood stuttering.

Let’s not waste precious time reinventing wheels! To help clients, families, members of the public and other speech pathologists, we’re pleased to present this short free resource with some of our favourite carrier phrases.

We hope you find this free resource useful.
