Self-Advocacy Activities for Stuttering Therapy

Stuttering activities that promote self-advocacy and acceptance of their stuttering are a must in speech therapy. They are a vital addition to your stuttering education and speaking modification strategies.

Self-advocacy is an important aspect of the social/emotional side of stuttering therapy. When students learn to advocate for themselves they become more confident, have higher self-esteem, and their negative attitudes about stuttering tend to decrease.

This packet includes several ways to teach self-advocacy to students who stutter. It includes role-playing, educating others, learning self-disclosure, problem-solving situations, and more!

• It is research-based and tackles the difficult social/emotional aspect of stuttering therapy.

• It helps a student decrease their negative attitudes about stuttering, which makes it easier for them to focus on their communication goals.

• It includes easy-to-implement activities and tasks that help clinicians confidently navigate stuttering therapy.

• Kids enjoy the activities and feel more empowered afterward!
