Stuttering is a complex disorder, and supporting students who stutter means looking beyond the physical disfluencies to their long-term communication success. In this episode of School of Speech, Carolyn Dolby, MS, CCC-SLP, is joined by Claire Barbao, MA, CCC-SLP, to discuss a holistic, person-centered approach to evaluating and treating school-age children who stutter.
Because every student who stutters is different, Claire explains why treatment plans and sessions should be individualized, drawing on evidence that addresses the cognitive, emotional, and social facets of stuttering. She describes the social-emotional impact of stuttering on school-age children, shares how to create and carry out meaningful, functional goals, and offers ways to educate children, their families, and other professionals about stuttering.
