Presenter: Scot Yaruss, PhD; CCC-SLP
Description: As the field of stuttering therapy changes, many clinicians are left wondering how they can
balance messages of stuttering acceptance with skills that help students communicate more easily and more
effectively in school and beyond. The purpose of this presentation is to demystify the current terminology and
views related to stuttering therapy (stuttering-affirming, neurodiversity, verbal diversity) and discuss ways to
help students, caregivers, and educators better understand the true nature of stuttering. This foundation will
provide clinicians with concrete guidance about how to select appropriate goals and procedures for
comprehensive stuttering therapy in the modern era.
