Pediatricians from across the globe gathered in October at the American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in New Orleans and the Stuttering Foundation was there. Dr. Joe Donaher from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Stephanie Lebsack from Titus Regional Medical Center in Texas were prepared to answer the many questions that delegates posed.
These included when is the right time to refer a family that is concerned about stuttering and what are the risks factors for stuttering. Pediatricians reported that they frequently are asked these questions by parents and many had no idea how to respond before checking in at the booth. Besides having a chance to ask their questions, pediatricians were equipped with materials including books, videos and brochures created by the Stuttering Foundation.
Many of the pediatricians were eager for materials in other languages especially for their Spanish speaking families. They also had questions about where to refer families and what could be done to help a child who starts to stutter. There were interesting discussions of how other disorders like ADHD, Tourette Syndrome and Autism can impact a child who stutters. Overall the pediatricians were excited by the support and educational materials supplied by Stuttering Foundation year after year.
