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.

Craig Coleman, M.A., CCC-SLP, BRS-FD, joins Peter Reitzes to discuss working with school age children who stutter and preschoolers who stutter and the clinician’s acceptance of stuttering. Craig is asked about a journal he plans to launch which will focus on case studies and about an online support group for teens and children who stutter he is working on with the National Stuttering Association. Mr. Coleman authored (with J. Scott Yaruss and Robert Quesal) a letter to the editor in which they responded to a recent editorial written by Marilyn Nippold. StutterTalk covered this topic during episodes 372 and 373 and Mr. Coleman is asked at the top of the show to weigh in on the editorial and response letters. The episode concludes with Craig being asked about why he does not regularly adopt Lidcombe and other response-contingency approaches into treatment.
