My name is Brittany Loomis and I am currently an undergraduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology. One of the areas that I am very curious in as a future Speech Pathologists is working with different cultures. My first question is if there is a program out there that allows Speech Pathologists to travel to other parts of the world to work with stuttering therapy or if it is just something that you have to set up yourself, if anyone has any information on this I would be very interested to know. I’m also curious if language barriers ever play into stuttering therapy when a clinician is trying to help a person who stutters from a different culture than the clinician? I can imagine there are some obstacles that may be difficult, but could the obstacles be helped with the assistance of a translator? Any information is appreciated! Thanks for all the great advice on this site, I’ve really enjoyed reading all the articles and discussions and have learned a lot!
