I am committed to educating undergraduate and graduate students about stuttering to better prepare future speech-language pathologists. Over the past four years, I have presented to 15 courses at 4 different universities. I tailor these presentations to audiences of future clinicians and address common misconceptions about stuttering (held even by SLPs), different perspectives of what effective stuttering therapy looks like (e.g., not prioritizing fluency for fluency’s sake), and how to support their stuttering clients. Below is a list of my previous guest lectures and presentations.
