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 Programย 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

  • 1.3 ASHA CEUs available
