    • Medizin

While many famous figures, including President Biden, have worked to decrease the stigma around stuttering, there are still significant psychosocial effects for many children who stutter. Joseph Donaher, PhD, CCC-SLP, a speech language pathologist at the Center for Childhood Communication at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, teaches us about the natural history of stuttering, when to refer to a speech therapist or other clinician, and how we can help support the well-being of these children. This is an important listen for pediatricians, parents, and teachers!
