“And when the world isn’t listening to people who stutter and not giving them a voice, that’s terrible. And I think it’s made me advocate even more. I think that it’s even children. Like I think it’s made me realize that as a clinician, it’s not about me at all. It’s not it’s my education gives them a template and it’s their stutter, not mine”

GUEST BIO
Steff Lebsack became a speech-language pathologist because she has an older brother, Jasper, who is a person who stutters. Steff focuses clinically on the treatment of stuttering and cluttering and is the current course designer/instructor for the graduate Fluency Disorders course for the Baylor University online Master’s Degree Program. Steff believes that her role in the field of speech pathology is a life passion and not a career. She lives with her husband Kevin, her two beautiful young children Mary and Karter and a pug named Ritchie. When she isn’t playing with her kids or catching up on stuttering current events, she can be found baking, writing or reading. She can even be found playing piano or the drums if you are brave enough to listen.
