This week StutterTalk features a classic episode from March 14, 2009. We spoke with Dr. Lee Reeves who is former Chairman of the National Stuttering Association.
Nina Reeves joins Peter Reitzes to discuss some ways that stuttering treatment often falls short or fails children who stutter. They discuss reasons these issues exist and practical and optimistic responses.
NINA REEVES, MS, CCC-SLP BCS-FD is a Board Certified Specialist and Mentor in Fluency Disorders. Ms. Reeves is a speech-language pathologist in the public schools and in private practice in Texas and California and has authored a number of publications including School-Age Stuttering Therapy: A Practical Guide.
On today’s episode, Ms. Reeves is asked to discuss the following issues:
When preschoolers who stutter are treated without regular parent participation.
The common belief that there is such a thing as “normal stuttering.”
When speech-language pathologists (SLPs) identify stuttering and then do not offer treatment because of the determination that the child is managing stuttering just fine (the child is never asked how they manage stuttering or how they feel about stuttering).
The common goal of 80% fluency given to many children who stutter.
When fluency is the goal and stuttering is wrong.
The common question, “Is it safe to talk to a child about stuttering?”
Parents who feel their child is not trying hard enough in speech therapy and are not using speech tools enough.
JOEL KORTE and ROISIN MCMANUS (of the “Stuttertalk B Team”) discuss the recent segment about living with stuttering on the Katie Couric show. They begin the episode by talking about how impressed they were with both Joel Viera, a fifteen year old who stutters, and Heather Grossman, the director of the American Institute of Stuttering. Later they discuss Byron Pitts’ appearance on the segment, his stuttering, and the stuttering management strategies mentioned on the show.
This week StutterTalk features a classic episode from March 12, 2009. We spoke with Michael Sugarman a pioneer in the stuttering self-help movement. Michael Sugarman was co-founder of the National Stuttering Project (now the National Stuttering Association). Enjoy the show.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a supplement that many people who stutter are talking about online, but leading researchers and speech-language pathologists are very careful and skeptical about its use. While taking thiamine to treat stuttering may be touted in some blogs and on social media, it is not touted in our journals or encouraged by leading researchers.
On today’s episode, Paul Brocklehurst joins Peter Reitzes to offer a thoughtful and balanced discussion on vitamin B1 (thiamine) and stuttering.
