You Want Me To Do What? Building Trust with Students and Caregivers

SLP

To be successful in stuttering therapy, students need to be able to take risks and try new approaches for coping with stuttering. To help students accomplish these necessary goals, clinicians need to be able to build trust with students and caregivers alike. This presentation will review key counseling skills for listening and responding to students in order to build a strong therapeutic alliance and develop trust as a foundation for every aspect of therapy.
