Titles or Testimonies? A Mindset for Counseling Persons Who Stutter
Speaker: Anthony DiLollo, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Date: June 23, 2021
Time: 12-1:15pm ET
Description: One of the ways that speech-language pathologists often get things wrong when working with persons who stutter is that they think they have to be the “expert” and “fix” what is “broken” in their clients. This often leads to breakdowns in the therapeutic relationship and poor outcomes. In this session, we will explore some fundamental ways that speech-language pathologists can approach working with persons who stutter to engage with them in their journey toward successful management of their stuttering.

Spontaneous Stuttering
Speaker: Christopher D. Constantino, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Florida State University

He will discuss the results of an ecological momentary assessment study in which spontaneity and fluency were measured during the real-life conversations of people who stutter and modeled over time.
