Cluttering : a treatment guidebook for clinicians

This report was developed to 1) examine current evidence-based research for cluttering therapy and 2) consider additional research outside of the field that may be of benefit for cluttering clients. It defines the disorder and briefly discusses its key characteristics. Treatment considerations reviewed include: slowed rate, heightened monitoring, using clear speech, using organized language, interacting with listeners, speaking naturally, and reducing excessive disfluencies. The typical approaches that have been used with clutterers as well as approaches that have been used with other disordered populations that address the key treatment considerations are discussed.
