I am very excited to share my conversation with Dr. Chris Constantino of Florida State University. I invited Chris to the show because I found his work as an advocate for changing how we perceive and engage with stuttering to be extremely important and fascinating. As you'll hear, Chris challenges us to rethink stuttering, urging us to see it not just as a hardship to overcome but as a unique aspect of identity with unexpected benefits. He's been developing a groundbreaking treatment framework known as stutter-affirming therapy. His insights inspired me greatly, and I believe this episode is a must-listen for all SLPs. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Chris, and I'm confident you will too.

I launched the Speech, Language, and Therapy Podcast with a mission to develop a deep understanding of the connection between speech therapy and overall well-being, especially in the area of stuttering. Inspired by my guests, I founded Brouwer Therapy to translate these insights into action.If you would like more information about connecting with me and my private practice: www.brouwertherapy.com
