Stuttering is more than fluency. It is a form of verbal diversity. In this episode of the School of Speech podcast, Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, is joined by fluency specialist Nina Reeves, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-F, to share practical, evidence based strategies for stuttering therapy in schools.
Nina introduces the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) model as a powerful framework for assessment, goal writing, and intervention. She also explains how IDEA shapes eligibility for stuttering services in schools, giving SLPs the tools to advocate more effectively for their students.
You will gain actionable strategies for writing individualized goals, building stutter affirming environments, and supporting students as they grow in confidence and advocacy. Nina encourages school based SLPs to reframe stuttering as a difference rather than a defect, shifting therapy toward communication that feels authentic, functional, and empowering.
Whether you are new to working with fluency disorders or looking to refresh your practice, this episode delivers practical tools and inspiration to strengthen stuttering service delivery in schools.
