Continuing Education:
A Domino Effect with a Good Ending
The Stuttering Foundation offers a breadth of informative and relevant online continuing education courses that help speech-language pathologists stay at the forefront of their field. With over 41 courses available, which are all conducted by recognized experts, they can study anything from traditional hands-on therapies to the most recent scientific studies on the origins of stuttering. In essence, these courses yield tangible results. For one, by completing a course, pathologists earn— through, in their own words, an “easy to follow” format with “good visuals”—continuing education credit, which is conferred by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and fulfills their continuing education requirements. More so, Stuttering Foundation courses enshrine a multilateral effort to address stuttering. One pathologist who completed and responded to the “Understanding New Genetic Findings in Stuttering” course exhibited this phenomenon in simple terms. They exclaimed that they would implement “all of” the information learned by first emailing “several colleagues to share a few high points” and then sharing with the “parents and teachers of children on [their] caseload who have severe problems with fluency.” The more information accessible, they stressed, the more those who stutter are “empowered to advocate for themselves.” In other words, this course reached an audience much larger than the individual who originally enrolled in it. By ensuring that accurate, up-to-date information on stuttering is at hand, the Stuttering Foundation encourages a more mindful, inclusive, and actively engaged world for those who stutter.
