Do you have a student who stutters on your caseload and questions about how to best support them? Are you wondering where to go next or where to begin?

Join us for this next meeting in our office hours series to connect with colleagues interested in improving their clinical practice with people who stutter! Whether stuttering is an area of challenge or lower confidence in your clinical practice, an area of comfort, or anything in between, we invite you to this collaborative problem-solving discussion with a group of SLPs with expertise in stuttering and other disfluency profiles. We will discuss clinical insights, brainstorm ideas with you, and work toward answers.

You are welcome to bring one or two key questions about a particular client/student, stuttering in general, or simply to come with your curiosity to listen and learn more. Depending on the number of attendees, we will be able to take up to 15 minutes to discuss each case.

We hope to see you then!

Hosts:
Carrie Kerstein, M.S., CCC-SLP
Courtney Perrigo, M.S., CCC-SLP
Debbie Bennett, M.S., CCC-SLP
Jacqueline Toscano, SLP.D., CCC-SLP

MSHA is closely monitoring the impact of recent changes to the definition of “licensed” speech-language pathologist in the provision of Medicare Part B services. While we determine our next course of action for the state of Massachusetts, ASHA is actively advocating to reverse these changes on a national level. You can support Clinical Fellows by signing the petition, and calling CMS to action.

Use the link in bio to access the petition and sign NOW. Clinical Fellows, your contribution to the field matters, and MSHA is here to support you.
