Dr. Scott Yaruss: My name is Scott Yaruss. I want to thank the folks as SpeechPathology.com for giving me a chance to participate in this. I also want to thank Craig Coleman, a good friend of mine and a really outstanding leader in our field, for putting together this week-long set of presentations.
My role in this is to talk about stuttering from a big perspective. My goal today is to talk about the entire disorder of stuttering and how we can ensure that our work in stuttering is not limited only to thinking about the speech behavior. These are the learning objectives. After this course, I want you to be able to describe the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO-ICF). I want you to be able to discuss four ways in which the ICF helps us understand stuttering, and we will talk about how that relates to the assessment and treatment of stuttering. You should be able to describe three strategies for assessing the aspects of stuttering related to the ICF: the impairment, reactions and adverse impact; and also three strategies for treatment. We want to discuss treatment goals for children who stutter and talk about some different treatment approaches for young children who stutter.
