​⚡️ Stuttering 101 - Past, Present, and Future

​Transcending Community Workshop with Dr. Lee Reeves

​
🔤 Description
It has been said that knowledge is power. I believe this is especially true for us as people whose words sometimes get involuntarily interrupted or stuck, i.e., for those of us who happen to stutter.  Ever wonder about where stuttering came from? How did it get its name? What were some of the early treatments? Are treatments today any different?

​The more knowledge we have about our condition the less of a mystery it is and the more power we can take back. Join me for a look back at the history of stuttering in an effort to understand where we are today…and what the future may hold.
