Join our FREE monthly parents’ and caregivers’ group and find a community of loved ones that are asking tough questions, sharing their highs and lows, and building their confidence in becoming their child’s best advocate and ally!
This “back to school” session especially for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents who stutter will include information sharing as well as interactive discussions of participant questions and concerns. Topics include: preparing for transitions, navigating institutional barriers, and the caregivers’ roles as advocates and support systems for their child’s school and social experiences. Join us to discuss caregiver-empowerment and how to empower children who stutter when they encounter stigma in school classrooms, speech therapy, and with peers.
