One of the things that I think would be one of the hardest parts of being a Speech Pathologist that works with stuttering therapy, would be having to confront parents about some of the environmental factors that they are doing and are affecting their child’s stuttering. I imagine that most parents are very willing to change what they are doing and probably feel very guilty that they were affecting their child’s stuttering in a negative way. However, what if parents are not willing to change their routine or the environment that is around the child, as a Speech Pathologist how do you deal with that? Also, how do you deal with parents who are not willing to help out with therapy by practicing with their child at home? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
