There is overwhelming evidence that speech-language pathologists experience decreased competence and confidence in dealing with stuttering disorders. Despite this evidence, clinicians are continued to be expected to provide effective stuttering therapy that is steeped in evidence-based practices. This leaves many SLPs at a loss on how to best serve their clients who stutter. In addition, the increased call for respecting neurodivergent perspectives leaves many SLPs feeling confused and struggling to understand how this impacts eligibility and service delivery in their respective job placements.
