Developed and field-tested by Alice Anne Farley, Color Me Fluent® is a fluency program that brings together the student, parent/caregiver, and speech-language pathologist (SLP) as a team. Together they implement family education, learning theory, and behavior modification to make changes in the student's life and speech. The methods, activities, and materials in this program make it a versatile kit for any caseload, ages preK and up. Color Me Fluent® promotes overlearning of correct and exaggerated speech patterns by focusing on breathing, phonation, articulation, and resonation. These strategies help the stutterer gain control of his/her speaking. The block management strategies in the program reduce fear and avoidance of speaking. Levels of speech fluency represented in colors provide visual cues to the student regarding his/her speech. - Red represents stuttering or disfluent speech.
- Orange represents the easier speech production. Students use their targets and speak "under the umbrella" of orange speech.
- Green speech refers to fluent speech. It is the ultimate goal of the program.
