What is Stutterology? [2022 Version]

So your child is stuttering - now what? Maybe you've been having people tell you about ways to make stuttering disappear, or you're just so overwhelmed by information overload that you don't know where to begin. Maybe you have read every book or article you can get your hands on, but you're still looking for something... else. What if the goal of speech therapy wasn't about making a stutter go away? What will success look like for your child/you/your loved one? Will they be OK, even if their stuttering never disappears? 

Let's start here - I've been stuttering since I was 6 years old. I like to think this makes me an expert in speaking with a stutter. 25 years has got to count for something, right? This is episode one of Stutterology - a podcast about navigating stuttering. Today you learn a bit about me, your host, and a glimpse of what I'm excited to be sharing with you. We discuss terms we'll be using, and some basic information about stuttering. And most importantly for this episode: why you should listen to me. I made this episode quick and concise, because we have a lot of ground to cover.
