School-age students who stutter deserve therapy that supports authentic communication, participation, and confidence. In this episode of The Speech Link podcast, host Char Boshart, MA, CCC-SLP, is joined by Nina Reeves, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF, F-ASHA, to explore stutter-affirming therapy through the lens of the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, a framework reflected in ASHA's Scope of Practice. Together, they discuss how SLPs can put this approach into practice with students who stutter.
If you've ever believed, "It's okay to stutter," but felt your training didn't fully reflect that belief, this episode is for you. Designed for SLPs working with school-age students who stutter, this conversation provides practical guidance for navigating change in clinical practice. Nina shares ways to individualize therapy, evaluate different intervention approaches, and make immediate shifts toward stutter-affirming care, helping students move toward greater communicative freedom with confidence and grace.
