Stuttering is more than just the disfluencies — for school-age children, it carries cognitive and emotional impact that will set foundations for themselves as a communicator. This course equips clinicians with a holistic framework for therapy that moves beyond fluency techniques to address the whole child. Participants will learn evidence-based counseling strategies to normalize the stuttering experience, foster self-acceptance, and build resilience in children navigating a world with high communication demands.

Participants will be able to: 

• Describe the importance of normalizing stuttering for a school-age child.
• Integrate counseling strategies with school-age children who stutter.
• Develop treatment plans and activities that highlight cognitive and affective impact of stuttering for school-age children.
