Here and Now Speech and Language Therapy

It's World Autistic People's Perspective Awareness Day! The easiest way you can be aware of the opinions of autistic people today is to do some quick searches. Learning about what many autistic people think about the things I was trained to do with them as a speech therapist has completely changed how I support my autistic students. Awareness is the first step of knowing better. shirt by

I found this today and it’s too important not to share. for SLPs about the harm we can do and how easy it is to do it if we’re not aware of This is why client perspective is an equal part of “It is time for radical acceptance of stuttering.”

I am used to my stuttering and I wish everyone else would get used to it too. My reactions and my feelings about stuttering are relative to how you, the listener, react. I am only uncomfortable because you are uncomfortable. I am uncomfortable FOR you.
