Stuttering Therapy in a “Neu” Era: How Do The Strategies Fit In?

No longer do students who stutter need to conform to societal expectations of fluent speech. Neurodiversity-informed therapy shifts the focus away from fluency - and toward acknowledging and accepting stuttering as a natural communication difference. Where does this leave the “tools?” Are they still a part of therapy? This session will explore the new role of communication strategies and how they fit into stuttering therapy.
