Course Abstract
Avoidance, word changing, anticipatory anxiety, fear, and other cognitive and affective issues often create a barrier to permanent change for many people who stutter (pws). Treating these cognitive and affective issues have historically been the hardest aspects of stuttering therapy. Integrating counseling skills and therapeutic processes from cognitive psychology is necessary to help stabilize pws and facilitate the transfer of fluency out of the clinic and into the real world. This program will offer a close examination of the process by which stuttering progresses as cognitive and affective issues begin to take root, how the identity of a stutterer develops, and interview skills to ascertain the severity of these issues. Specific strategies for: conversational reframing, cognitive reorganization, eliminating fear and avoidance, empowering parents and teachers, and helping to minimize relapse will all be presented.
Disclosure: This learning event does not focus exclusively on any specific product or service.Course Learning Outcomes

I had the opportunity to attend one of Mr. Mackesey's stuttering courses in person (non on-line) about 6 years ago and he presented very valuable information then and did again in this presentation. It was a great refresher and he provided new information also. I love that he is a stutterer and can "walk in the shoes" of his patients and knows what works and what does not work for patients who stutter.

Stuttering is a misunderstood communicative mode by SLPs, patients/families, and educators/medical staff. This presentation emphasizing the thoughts and feelings associated with a stutterer past, present and future is most appreciated.

This was one of the most informative, state of the art courses that has been presented by speechpathology.com. We have to cross fertalize into other fields (NLP, psychology, cognition, linguistics, etc) in treating stuttering effectively and efficiently. This presenter has brought that information to SLPs to try and explore with PWS. Excellent course!
