In this hour and forty-minute presentation, Ellen Kelly, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-F, discusses how the complexity of stuttering development necessitates a multi- faceted approach to assessment of preschoolers. She provides the rationale for and specifi c elements of screening and discusses comprehensive assessment protocols for use with preschoolers suspected of stuttering, and their caregivers. Case examples illustrate prioritization of assessment measures and formulation of recommendations to caregivers.
In this seventy-fi ve minute presentation, Selma Saad Merouwe, SLP, ECSF, of Saint Joseph University, Beirut, discusses new research in bilingual people who stutter. Our insight into the frequency and types of the disfl uencies of bilingual children who do, and do not stutter, is limited because research has primarily focused on monolinguals. Recently, many studies have been conducted that include children with different language profi les to better understand the interlinguistic characteristics that can distinguish bilingual children who do and do not stutter from their monolingual peers. Results inform the accurate clinical identifi cation of stuttering in bilinguals. This presentation includes the theoretical background related to this specifi c topic, and some preliminary fi ndings of a research project carried out in Lebanon.
In this seventy-fi ve minute presentation, Ana Paula G. Souza Mumy, SLPD, CCC-SLP discusses cultural responsiveness as it pertains to working with bilingual families, with a special focus on bilingual children who stutter. She talks about the vital role of the home language as well as the far-reaching detrimental effects of removing or reducing use of the home language within the family. She also challenges the notion of treating bilingualism as a "demand" or "burden" on a child's linguistic system. She examines how language and culture tie to the importance of clinical and patient evidence when making treatment decisions, particularly when research evidence is lacking. Finally, she explores guiding principles for family-centered treatment, viable solutions, and practical recommendations for working with bilingual children who stutter and their families.
