Robert Dellinger, M.S., CCC-SLP

Robert Dellinger joins Peter Reitzes to discus what he wishes his speech-language pathologist (SLP) knew about stuttering. Mr. Dellinger explains that often when school age children who stutter are “fluent” it is usually not the result of therapy, but due to issues such as variability. Robert explains that “fluency” has little use when a student is not able to say what they want, when they want to say it. Mr. Dellinger is asked to discuss IEP goals and to offer advice to SLPs who may be uncomfortable working with children who stutter. Check out Robert’s website here.
