  • Navigating challenging conversations in stuttering therapy across the lifespan

    • June 13, 2026
    • 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
    • virtual

    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.

    Presenters:

    Heather Grossman, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF

    Mark O'Malia, MS, CCC-SLP

    Fee: $300 (before 5/15) or $350 (after 5/15)
