Episode Synopsis

I am very excited to share my conversation with Dr. Chris Constantino of Florida State University. I invited Chris to the show because I found his work as an advocate for changing how we perceive and engage with stuttering to be extremely important and fascinating. As you'll hear, Chris challenges us to rethink stuttering, urging us to see it not just as a hardship to overcome but as a unique aspect of identity with unexpected benefits. He's been developing a groundbreaking treatment framework known as stutter-affirming therapy. His insights inspired me greatly, and I believe this episode is a must-listen for all SLPs. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Chris, and I'm confident you will too.Links to the book: Stammering Pride and Prejudice: Difference Not DefectKindle Version (Affiliate Link)Physical Book for United States ResidentsPhysical Book for Readers Outside of the United StatesSupport the showBuy Me A Coffee
