Finding Middle Ground in Therapy

Given recent shifts in our field, the concept of stuttering as a form of neurodiversity has been a frequent topic of discussion.  The social model of disability is seen as more in alignment with these shifts than the medical model when conceptualizing appropriate treatment for individuals who stutter.  Some advocate no longer including speech modification skills as a part of treatment, while others believe these skills continue to have a role in therapy for some clients.  Please join us for an interactive discussion about shifts in our field and what constitutes “stutter-affirming” therapy as we work to provide client-centered care. This discussion will be facilitated by Rob Reichhardt,Tricia Krauss-Lehrman and Laura Johnson.
