Location on this date: Online
Tutors: Samantha SimpsonHistorically, stammering has been understood as a defect that needs to be fixed. Over the past two decades, therapists and people who stammer have looked beyond such aims and instead developed approaches to therapy that affirm stammering as a valid and respectable way of speaking. These stammering-affirming therapy approaches look to shift how people feel about and approach their stammer in daily life to build a shared world that respects and sees value in stammering.
