As is tradition at this time of the year, we were invited to participate in the La Salle’s Panel of People Who Stutter lead by Dr Amster and Dr Trichon for their graduate class in Speech Language Pathology.  8 people who stutter attended.  We started by introducing ourselves to all the students and commenting on our experience with therapy and stuttering.  Then the students broke up in groups of 4 or 5 and each of us spent about 10 minutes with each group.  It was a very intense experience because we were talking the whole time.  The students had a lot of interesting questions and they were very interested in all aspects of stuttering, such as feelings, techniques and therapy.

We thank Drs Amster and Trichon for the opportunity to talk to the students and increase their knowledge about stuttering.  If anything we said helps even only one therapist help a child or person who stutters in the future, we’ve done our job.

Until next year!
