Stuttering is a complex disorder area that is constantly evolving within the field of speech pathology. When working with school-age children who stutter, a holistic view of stuttering helps to facilitate generalization and long-term progress. It is important that SLPs are not only familiar with fluency-shaping and stuttering-modification strategies, but also the social and emotional aspects of stuttering and how to support students in a variety of communication settings. The biggest question when it comes to stuttering therapy is often: where do I start?
