Athlete and Advocate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

December 09, 2021

Recorded at the 2021 ASHA Convention, the NCAA men's basketball champion and NBA vet joins the podcast to share his personal story and experiences, including his decision to self-disclose his stutter during the NCAA Tournament.


Kidd-Gilchrist also discusses his advocacy work for people who stutter through his initiative Change and Impact. The nonprofit focuses on helping those who stutter access services from SLPs and, as a part of that, Michael creates greater awareness of stuttering and the lived experiences of those who stutter.
