What is an SLP?

Happy National Speech Language Pathologist Day to All! - Speech Therapy Store Come and celebrate national speech pathologist day in the month of May. Plus grab our free happy national slp day posters!

Please join us for our first National Stuttering Association Family Meeting!!
3/21 @ 6:30
Mimi's Pantry 4 Kids (an amazing nonprofit organization helping kids and families in North Kansas City).

Reminder that we have our first NATIONAL STUTTERING ASSOCIATION family chapter event coming up next Thursday! Amy Burns, a speech therapist from Kansas City Speech Professionals, will be joining us as well for this fun filled social night for kids who stutter and their families!!

Co-owner and SLP Amy is taking part of a book club on stuttering. Stuttering therapy should focus on acceptance. The goal is not fluent speech, but acceptance in who you are and an emphasis on WHAT you say, not HOW you say it.

Grateful for a compelling discussion during our first session in our spring SLP book club! One SLP perfectly captured the essence of Chris Anderson’s “Every Waking Moment”:

“A book of the human spirit!”

We had SLPs from all across the country, including CA, CT, IL, KS, MD, MN, MS, NJ, NY, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, and WI. 🙌

We discussed:

🧩 The inner life of stuttering
🧩 The importance of addressing what children think and feel on the inside as they experience stuttering
🧩 Finding one’s potential while learning to live collaboratively with stuttering
🧩 The importance of our work with parents of children who stutter as their individual journeys unfold
🧩 Holding space for the emotions, reactions, and experiences of caregivers and people who stutter

We can’t wait for the next session!

Registration is closed for this semester (we’ve run out of room!), but we’d love to see you for the next session, so follow Spero Stuttering, Inc. and Christopher Anderson to hear about our next book club, along with other stuttering PD opportunities!

Great showing at the Kansas Speech and Hearing Conference!
