In this SIG 4 activity, authors describe ways to (a) increase speech-language pathologists’ comfort with treating stuttering by providing a structured grouping of activities centered around using education, ease, and empowerment (Gore & Margulis); (b) continue using empirical evidence and clinical experience to make informed decisions about assessment procedures for young children who stutter (Singer & Kelly); and (c) provide holistic speech-language therapy services for stuttering using telehealth (McGill & Schroth). Each of these articles provides practicing clinicians ways to gain confidence in their abilities to provide evaluations and treatment across delivery paradigms.

Learning Outcomes

• provide examples of activities that can be used for each of the 3Es (Ease, Educate, Empower)
• describe common practices of speech-language pathologists related to evaluating a young child who stutters’ chances of persisting
• summarize components of holistic therapy

Assessment Type
Self-assessment—Think about what you learned and report on the Completion Form how you will use your new knowledge.
