Abstract: | Assertion-based treatments for stuttering have historically been more popular than evidence-based treatments. In this paper it is argued that the use of evidence-based treatments for stuttering is professionally empowering for clinicians, but that the use of assertion-based treatments is a circular process that inhibits professional development. The arguments in favor of evidence-based treatment are elaborated under headings of "professional investment," "professional development and diversity," and "optimizing treatment efficacy." EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: The reader will understand and be able (1) to describe the distinction between assertion-based and evidence-based treatment practices (2) to present a series of arguments that evidence-based treatment practices are professionally empowering. |
