Big shout out to Holly Cardinal and Kate Bunton!

We have an awesome new resource for SLPs and caregivers!

A new e-book, “Captain of My Voice”, is now available as a free download in our resource library on the Spero Stuttering website!

In this space-themed picture storybook, children connect their own experiences with vivid imagery and simple truths about stuttering.

The final lesson is one of self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and self-advocacy—because “My friends can wait. I’ve got something important to say.”

Find this new storybook in our Resource Library, under Clinical Resources:

The concept and core analogy were inspired by the work of J. Scott Yaruss, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF, F-ASHA, also an Ally of Stuttering®. Illustrations created using Canva AI.

We would like to express our gratitude to these alumni & their families (Lauren Fedt, Ann Miller, Tom Muller, Natasha Seaton, Aileen Wong, and Bryan Wong) and our Student Academy of Audiology chapter for their incredibly generous donations that allowed for the purchase of a tympanometer for the St. Andrew’s Clinic. We raised the full $500 to purchase this equipment from a local clinic who was moving. We are so thrilled to be in a much better place with equipment at St. Andrew’s Clinic to be able to continue to serve the children there. Here is this photo is the “new to us” equipment.
