Spot celebrates diversity in all aspects of human identity and experience. We are strong advocates for a neuroaffirming understanding of stuttering, which we recognise as verbal diversity.
At university speech pathologists typically learn to treat and 'fix' stuttering, but as with many things in our scope, our lens has shifted. When supporting stutterers and their families, it is clear that fluency is intimately tied to regulation.
We understand that some people's nervous systems are more sensitive and dysfluency may increase in different environments, or around different people.
With the great gift of access to the voices of people with lived experience, we now know that behavioural approaches to supporting stuttering may not be the right fit for everybody (*and this is certainly nuanced - we have to consider values, evidence and factors such family capacity)
If you or someone you care for stutters, and you would like to learn more, check out NeuroWay's Stuttering Webinar for parents, carers and educators (and even therapists looking for a refresher).
To celebrate this week, we've partnered with NeuroWay to offer FREE access to a Stuttering Webinar.
Simply comment STUTTER and we'll DM you the link.
