This is Part 1 of a four-part series. This course will cover current research and trends in stuttering. Specifically, information related to risk factors and epidemiology, as well as the foundational knowledge needed to assess and treat stuttering, will be addressed. Additionally, assessment of people who stutter will be described through the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, which focuses on all aspects of stuttering, beyond the surface-level characteristics.

This course will review types, causes, and impact of medical errors across a variety of health settings. It will discuss the role of the SLP in preventing errors to improve patient safety, both within their own practices and in supporting improved practices for other practitioners.
