Sunday, March 16, 2025 | 11:00-11:45 AM EST | Zoom
About This Event
Raising a child who stutters can feel challenging, especially as they navigate school and social environments. Join us for a special parent-focused panel where we'll share practical tips and key principles to help you support your child's confidence and communication—while also taking care of yourself.
Led by our experienced specialists - a speech-language pathologist, and a psychotherapist - this meeting will offer strategies to help you foster resilience, manage challenges, and create a supportive environment for your child. You'll also gain the inside story - from a psychotherapist who stutters and a college student reflecting on his school years with stuttering.
Whether your child is just entering school or navigating the teen years, you'll find valuable guidance and connection with others who share your journey.
