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, grades 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.

Great Visual Cues

Using the included poster with colored dots, my student was able to easily identify fluent, stuttering, and modified stuttering in my speech. I think this will be a great way for him to learn to monitor and be aware of his own fluency.

I just received this and have not had a chance to use it with my student yet, but in looking at the materials it looks like a great program. There are great visuals with it as well as manipulatives to keep the students interest.

I love the visuals that it gives students! I have pulled some of the worksheets up on the Smartboard and the students love to work on there so it makes them even more interactive.

Color Me Satisfied!
Excellent resource for fluency therapy for many age levels, from pre-K to older students. There are many manipulatives included, which is nice to have everything you need at your fingertips. The manual is very nicely organized and easy to follow. There are even handouts to provide to students and to parents about fluency. I know I will use this resource all the time with my fluency students.

Color Me Fluent
A colleague introduced me to this program earlier this year. I borrowed it from her to use with a student on my caseload and I was so impressed with the success my student was having that I knew I needed to have my own copy at my school! Since funding is scarce in the school system right now, I applied and was approved for a grant from my PTA to purchase it. The program is excellent for younger (K-5) students as it gives them very tangible exercises and goals. Thank you for making such a great resource available to us!

Product is just OK
The ideas behind color me fluent are great, but it is difficult for younger kids (it is recommended for 6 year olds) to understand the concepts at times.

Color Me Fluent
As an elementary-school based speech therapist I have seen an increased number in fluency cases added to my caseload. After using various techniques and products, I found the students doing the activities which I asked them to do, but not quite sure why. Color Me Fluent is a MUST-HAVE for every school-based clinician. All of the techniques which I previously presented are explained how and why. In addtion to including excellent activities with materials, there are parent handouts, which I send home. Mstudents and I even called Super Duper to thanks them personally, during a fluency session! Thank you so much for helping to make a difference and for explaining why we say and use the things we do!

Stuttering
I have had great success with one of my therapy students with this program. He has learned alot about slowing his speech and using the techniques to help him. I like this program. It is easy to use and has lots of great advise and take home letters to explain what you are doing in therapy to the parents.

I would like to see more products in a cheaper price range. I really like many of your products, I just can't afford to buy them all. It would be nice to more products for special education teachers.. You have such wonderful products. I really like the hands on products as well as those that offer a CD for printables.

I just wanted to say...
I just wanted to say I am so grateful that Super Duper continues to support SLPs by including CDs in their workbooks. I print so many homework and activity sheets so I don't have to deal with the copier, it saves so much time! Companies like LinguiSystems have lost my business because they are no longer supportive in this way. I also really enjoy the parent handouts! Keep 'em coming! I use them all the time and have told my colleuges about them!

I enjoy your products and love your language games/activities. I would like more interactive products and language stimulating toys for early childhood. I work with many pre-kindergarten students and would benefit from a larger variety of products for children at this age. I love the fluency enhancing tools and the Magne Talk activities.
