Customer ReviewS
Nina was knowledgeable about stuttering and provided the information in a positive, engaging, and informative manner. I walked away with so many tools that I can already start using.
Lisa
This was everything I needed to hear about fluency and more. Practical information and ready to implement strategies. It was also a non-intimidating introduction to reframing my thinking about fluency and the first step towards unlearning what I learned in grad school over a decade ago.
Lauren
This course gave me a new perspective on how to treat school-age students with fluency issues!! It's not about a "cure", but about strategies that make communication easier!!

This course is offered for .1 ASHA CEUs (Introductory Level, Professional Area).
"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"

Course Description:
If you’re like me, you left grad school crossing your fingers that you could avoid clinically working with fluency so the world would never know how much you don’t know. Or maybe you’re not like me, and fluency is your jam (thank you!). Either way, this episode has something for every SLP, calling out some really big elephants in the room, including how to avoid bad goal writing that leads to ineffective therapy. Nina Reeves is back with her no-nonsense approach, sharing current, evidence-based intervention strategies to help school-aged children who stutter. If you haven’t already listened, pop back to the previous Nerdcast with Nina to set a strong foundation of principles and attitudes that puts these techniques into perspective. Nina’s got some tough love for you and me, but don’t worry, as Kate assures “Nobody’s hitting anybody with a stick” (it will makes sense when you listen, trust me). There’s plenty of grace, humor, and solid how-to in this info-packed episode as Nina empties your bucket of the “cr@p” and loads it full of fluency intervention gold to start your journey towards comfort, competence, and confidence with students who stutter. Tune in and learn about the nuts and bolts alongside the incredible role of social-emotional experience in effective stuttering intervention.
Nina Reeves, M.S. CCC-SLP, BCS-F is a board-certified specialist in fluency disorders and the co-founder of StutteringTherapy Resources, Inc.
