Back to School with Confidence!

As a new school year begins, we know parents, caregivers, teachers, and SLPs are working hard to set students up for success. At SAY, we believe every young person who stutters deserves a supportive community where their voice is always heard. But we also know school can sometimes be challenging for children who stutter.

That’s why we’ve created a free Back-to-School Toolkit with resources you can use and share to help kids and teens who stutter feel confident and supported at school.

Download the Toolkit

Inside the Toolkit, you’ll find:

  • Guidance on building a community of support by educating others about stuttering and fostering understanding and acceptance.
  • Tips for navigating the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) so families can advocate with clarity and confidence.
  • Practical tools for using 504 Plans and classroom accommodations to create inclusive, supportive learning environments.
  • Strategies for building resilience that encourage confidence, self-advocacy, and a positive outlook in young people who stutter.

We’d love to connect with you this school year! Looking for more resources? Reach out to our Director of SAY: Speech, Brooke Leiman Edwards, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-SCF, with any questions or concerns about stuttering and how to support children who stutter in any setting.
