Treating stuttering in school aged children can be challenging!

Are you struggling to provide effective stuttering treatment for school-aged children?

Research shows that at least one-third of children continue to stutter into their school years, highlighting the critical need for early and effective intervention. Without proper support, these children face increased risks of bullying, social anxiety, and challenges in the classroom.

Currently, limited clinical research exists to guide the treatment of school-aged children who stutter, but promising results are emerging. A recent telehealth trial of the Lidcombe Program demonstrated significant reductions in stuttering severity. In addition, clinically significant improvements were observed in communication attitudes, the overall impact of stuttering, and levels of social anxiety.

  • This workshop is online (Zoom) and is not recorded

  • This workshop assumes you have taken the LP workshop for preschool children who stutter

  • 1.2 ASHA CEUs available

This is available for Lidcombe-Program-Trained Clinicians who have taken the 12-hour Lidcombe Program. 

Some of the upcoming Community of Practice workshops will be in French.

mentoring for clinicians in stuttering

We offer mentoring for clinicians needing to talk over a specific case or who wish to be mentored as they start their journey in providing services for those who stutter and their families. with decades of experience training clinicians, mentoring clinicians, designing and updating professional workshops, publishing in peer-reviewed articles and presenting in conferences, it will be our pleasure to meet you in an individual meeting or within a small group to discuss specific situations you may be encountering.
