Daniel Shaw, M.S., CCC-SLP, a pediatric SLP at the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center in Nashville, TN, joins host, Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to talk all things school-age and adolescent stuttering assessment. This episode was envisioned to speak to the SLP who has an introductory understanding of stuttering, but is hoping to increase their competency and effectiveness in a way that works within their limited time and resources. Think about this clinical conversation as if you decided to call up a colleague or friend who has more experience and ask, 'Help! I have a pediatric stuttering assessment coming up. Could you walk me through what you do and why?'
While those emerging in their clinical comfort and expertise in stuttering will gain the most from this episode, there are plenty of clinical examples and insights shared that could be of support and benefit to all. Daniel and Sara walk listeners through: pre-assessment considerations, assessment planning and decision making, components to comprehensive assessment, both informal and formal options to assessing various areas, and plenty of clinical insights and considerations weaved throughout!
