In partnership with the American Institute for Stuttering, this course is offered for 0.55 ASHA CEUs.
Navigating challenging conversations in stuttering therapy across the lifespan equips speech-language pathologists with counseling-informed skills to engage confidently in the emotionally complex conversations central to stuttering-affirming care. This course reframes tough conversations as therapeutic moments that support autonomy, participation, and long-term communication well-being.
Through case vintage, video roleplays, and group discussions centered around clients who stutter across the lifespan, participants learn practical strategies—including reflective listening, validation, open-ended questioning, and motivational interviewing principles - to address parental or client urgency, uncertainty, shame, avoidance, and internalized stigma. Clinicians leave with concrete language and tools to navigate difficult moments with clarity, compassion, and intention.
