Stuttering Demystified & Beyond

About Stuttering Demystified & Beyond

Yes, I stutter. I have been a licensed speech pathologist for 30 years. My career started out as an unhappy accountant. Being told I would never be able to communicate due to stuttering, I proved them all wrong. My goal is to increase stuttering education and help all who stutter as well as learning about ADHD. I am a life and ADHD coach for ambitious women/college students. I own All Island Speech and Stuttering Therapy and online via tele health. I am licensed in NY, NJ, CT, PA, CA, MA www.allislandspeech.com https://linktr.ee/allislandspeech

   Episode 114: The Difference Between a Speech Therapist and Stuttering Specialist

   Lori discusses when a child who stutters may benefit from seeing a stuttering specialist rather than a general speech-language pathologist. She explains the differences in training, clinical experience, and expertise, and why it’s important to seek out a professional with specific clinical experience working with people who stutter. The right provider can help ensure that stuttering is properly understood and that therapy is tailored to the individual needs of the child and family.

   Episode 113: Screw Acceptance. Listen to Your Child.

   Lori discusses why acceptance doesn’t have to mean settling for where you are. While accepting yourself and understanding who you are is important, it’s also okay to want more and work toward improvement. Lori emphasizes the importance of listening to your child, supporting their goals, and continuing to work toward fluency rather than becoming complacent. Progress looks different for everyone, but the goal should always be to help children reach their full potential.
