About the event
Fluency strategies aren’t working the way you hoped? Stuttering is still shaping your life? Counseling can be a game-changer and provides people who stutter with a space to explore the emotional, behavioral, and social impacts of stuttering.
In this NSA Connects, Lauren and CJ (both speech-language pathologists who stutter) will guide a conversation about how counseling can boost speaking confidence. You’ll get practical tips for approaching your SLP about moving away from strategies and integrating counseling into your therapy.
Meet your hosts:
Chadwick “CJ” Hedgepeth works across schools, outpatient facilities, skilled nursing, and inpatient rehab in Virginia. A person who stutters, CJ is passionate about best practices in stuttering therapy and serves as Chapter Leader for the Charlottesville NSA Chapter.
