Description
In this episode, I talk with Lauren Haines from Busy Bee Speech about childhood stuttering.Many people don’t realize this, but there are a TON of misconceptions in the general public about stuttering. It’s also a highly specialized area of speech-language pathology, so many clinicians are left feeling unprepared to support stutterers who come to therapy. That’s why I wanted to dispel some myths about stuttering and offer some practical tips for therapists, educators, and parents of school-age kids. In this conversation, we discuss: ✅What are the signs that stuttering will persist past childhood, and is it possible for kids to “outgrow” speech disfluencies?✅What does stuttering look like in kids? How do we know when a child needs to go to therapy?✅What are the key pieces of intervention for stuttering, and what can therapists, educators, and parents do to help?✅Why “stuttering” should not be an off-limits word when talking to kids about their speech.✅What’s the cause of stuttering and how can we have realistic therapy goals for kids?

The De Facto Leaders podcast was formerly the “Are they 18 yet?®” podcast. As of November 2022, the name of the show has changed, and we’ve shifted from a focus on parenting to a focus on supporting clinicians and educators to design effective services for kids (but parents are still welcome to listen). Episodes published before November 24, 2022 will still contain some of our old branding.
