STUTTERING FOUNDATION REPRESENTS AT THE TSHA
At the recent Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association conference in Fort Worth, the Stuttering Foundation was proud to be represented by Prof. Tricia Hedinger, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF, and Tom Scharstein, member of the Stuttering Foundation Board of Directors. Conferences such as TSHA provide a valuable opportunity to connect with both the next generation of clinicians and experienced professionals already serving people who stutter. Graduate students, in particular, are eager to explore the full range of knowledge available to them as they begin their careers, while established SLPs bring years of clinical insight and curiosity about emerging resources.
Throughout the conference, we enjoyed meaningful conversations with students, clinicians, and educators while showcasing the Stuttering Foundation’s extensive library of publications, videos, and educational materials that support professionals, families, and people who stutter around the world. Central to these efforts is the mission of the Stuttering Foundation: education. As the world’s foremost resource on stuttering, with a truly global presence, the Stuttering Foundation is committed to ensuring that accurate, practical, and accessible information about stuttering reaches clinicians, educators, parents, and individuals who stutter everywhere.
We were especially excited to share the revitalization of the “Van Riper Tapes,” the original recordings of the teachings of Charles Van Riper, now available for free viewing thanks to the continued generosity of Malcolm Fraser. These historic recordings connect today’s clinicians and students with foundational ideas that helped shape modern understandings of stuttering and its management.
Participation in professional conferences like TSHA helps ensure that the full range of resources and perspectives remain accessible to the community. All therapy--whether self-directed or guided by a professional--begins with acceptance of oneself as a person who stutters. From that starting point, individuals, parents, and clinicians can explore approaches that align with their personal goals and needs. By keeping doors open to evidence-based research, clinical experience, and time-tested concepts, we help ensure that people who stutter and those who support them have access to the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their own paths forward.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to the TSHA organizers and attendees for creating such a welcoming and engaging professional environment, and to the city of Fort Worth for its warm hospitality during a memorable and productive conference.
