The 3Es: A Framework for Figuring Out What To Do In Stuttering Therapy
Speakers: Katie Gore, MA, CCC-SLP, speech IRL
Courtney Luckman, MA, CCC-SLP, speech IRL
Date: January 13, 2021
Time: 6-7:30pm ET
Description: Recent stuttering research explores areas such as social-environmental interactions (e.g., issues within the social model of disability) and the value of non-traditional behavioral interventions (e.g., mindfulness). However, our traditional frameworks for *how to do therapy* do not integrate these considerable advances in EBP. We present a new "three-letter model" that builds on the ABC foundation that is practical, robust, and accessible. In this workshop, we will present a theoretical grounding of this model, discuss recent research that support evidence-based therapy, provide a sampling of activities, and engage in case studies to facilitate active learning.
