"I like the suggestions for therapy activities and goals. I made note of some of the statements and stories Tim shared that I found to be quite powerful. This was a wonderful training and I feel it has contributed to my professional growth as a school based SLP."-SLP

In this one-hour presentation Timothy Flynn, M.S., CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist within Arlington Public Schools, Virginia and owner of Forward Steps Therapy, discusses the shifting perspective of working with children who stutter.
