World Congress
Continuous growth in cultural and linguistic diversity influences service delivery to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including individuals who stutter and clutter. Research findings and clinical observations indicate cultural and linguistic differences in the perception of stuttering and cluttering as well as the presentation of speech and related behaviors. This motivates a need to strongly consider the importance of providing culturally responsive service-delivery to individuals who stutter and clutter as well as related best practices. At the conclusion of this session, attendees will leave with tools to understand why culturally responsive assessment and treatment of both stuttering and cluttering is important, but also how to do it.
