May 11, 2023

How do society’s expectations of people who stutter affect those speakers’ experiences?

 

As a person who stutters and as an SLP specializing in stuttering, Chris Constantino of Florida State University discusses how concepts like neurodiversity and the social model of disability can influence and inspire intervention. He shares what these ideas mean to him and how they might look if they’re applied in practice.

 

Plus, Constantino highlights some of the positive moments he’s gained in his life from being a person who stutters.
