Building Resiliency with Young Children Who Stutter: The Why and The How Julia Hollister, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-F The ability to bounce back from challenges is a valuable life skill. Several research studies show that in general, children who stutter tend to be more emotionally reactive, and have lower regulation skills than their peers. This is significant as emotional regulation is a key component to resiliency, and can determine how well a child copes with difficulties in life, including stuttering. Regulation, like other skills, can be learned. This presentation discusses the importance of designing holistic stuttering interventions that include resiliency-building practices. Examples of activities that build emotional regulation skills within the framework of stuttering will be discussed.
Building a Supportive Community for Children Who Stutter through Peer Education Mary Weidner, Ph.D., CCC-SLP Fostering a supportive communication environment is crucial to the overall success and well-being of children who stutter. However, children who do not stutter often lack knowledge about the disorder and how to sensitively respond to peers who stutter. Uninformed or insensitive peer reactions can lead to social ramifications for children who stutter, which may negatively impact their overall social-emotional well-being. This presentation summarizes current research relative to what peers know about stuttering and provides practical, evidenced-based recommendations to improve young children’s stuttering attitudes.
New Frontiers in Stuttering Research: A Doctoral Student Panel Discussion Moderated by: Courtney Byrd, Ph.D., CCC-SLP The future of our field will be largely influenced by the doctoral students who are presently learning and testing new theories and applying those tenets to clinical practice. Dr. Courtney Byrd will moderate a panel of doctoral students with distinct trajectories to facilitate a discussion of new frontiers in stuttering research. Panelists will provide valuable insight for clinicians and persons who stutter regarding emerging data related to the nature, assessment and treatment of stuttering.
