    A Tribute to International Stuttering Awareness Day

    Today, October 22, 2024, leaders from Ireland and the United States gathered to recognize the significance of international Stuttering Awareness Day, a day that reminds us of the profound impact stuttering can have on individuals, and families. Stuttering affects millions, transcending borders, cultures, and ages.Awareness is the first step toward understanding. By observing this day, we foster an environment where conversations about stuttering can flourish, where bullying is not accepted and where verbal differences are tolerated and respected. To recognize this day, we brought together leaders to discuss the importance of leadership in dismantling the stigma associated with stuttering, accepting people with disorders such as stuttering and giving them the space to share their voice. We were pleased to have Bertie Ahern, the former Irish Prime Minister from Ireland, lead this discussion. Joining Brian and Bertie for this conversation were, Jamie Googan, Michael Sheehan, Michael O’Shea, Derry Canti and musician Maive Walsh. Enjoy the program!

    Jason Heffler: “Own your stutter to break through in life!”

    Jason Heffler is a musician and author whose stories help young readers overcome speech disorders and fears around speaking. Drawing from his own childhood experiences growing up with a stutter, he writes uplifting tales that build confidence in kids who lack self-esteem. As a child, Heffler was cruelly bullied for his stutter, knocking his self-acceptance, but he eventually decided to "own" it rather than be defined by it. This hard-won self-love became the driving inspiration behind his writing career. By day he is a DJ (Fluencee) and leads the operations of EDM.com, the world's leading electronic dance music site, as its Managing Editor.

    Kim Sabourin: On trauma informed care, involving parents in therapy and the importance of meeting kids where they’re at.

    Many of us who stutter feel like speech and language pathologists (SLPs) have been poorly equipped to treat people who stutter.  In fact, many of them shy away from it because of the lack of training they received on stuttering therapy, and because of the emotional and psychological components that need to be addressed to make a difference. In this podcast Kim Sabourin shares how she is helping to shape the SLPs of the future by designing classes that address all aspects of stuttering, including trauma informed care.  An SLP must understand where stuttering is in a kids’ life and the emotional toll it has taken on them. This is a very individualized approach.  Kim also explores educating and involving parents in stuttering therapy.  Kim is a Board-Certified Stuttering Specialist. She is the Founding Program Director of the Master's in Speech Language Pathology program at Saint Elizabeth University in Morristown, New Jersey, including curriculum development, faculty recruitment and management, and student recruitment.  Prior to St Elizabeth's, Kim spent 17 years as a Speech Language Pathologist and Clinical Instructor at Temple University in Philadelphia. Enjoy the listen.
