Robert “the Expert” Quesal joins Peter Reitzes to respond to Marilyn A. Nippold’s appearance last week on StutterTalk episode 372 in which she argued that focusing on overt stuttering should be the primary treatment goal for school-age children who stutter. Bob and Peter respond by discussing the importance of valuing the speaker’s experience of stuttering, valuing the common and often shared experiences of people who stutter and conducting research that comprehensively targets the needs of people who stutter. Bob shares his “car veering right analogy” to help listeners better appreciate and empathize with the speaker’s experience of stuttering.
ROBERT QUESAL, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is a professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Western Illinois University, a person who stutters, a board recognized fluency specialist and a fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
