This has been on my mind too. I’ve also had to explain my title due to confusion around the word “pathologist” in “speech-language pathologist.” “Speech-language therapist” may be a better fit. It’s a conversation worth having in countries still using SLP. Thanks for sharing this editorial. #SLP

(3/4) 📚 Books can help start conversations. My son related deeply to “Mrs. Gorski, I Think I Have the Wiggle Fidgets” by Barbara Esham. It helped lift shame and build self-understanding. Do you have book recommendations for talking about neurodivergence with kids? #KidsBooks #Neurodiversity #SLP

Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates (CTT&WA) @communicate-rhonda.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

(2/4) When kids learn about their own brains—or others’—it helps them grow into allies & feel safer if they are neurodivergent. Talking about stuttering, autism, ADHD, OCD & more reduces fear, fosters empathy & prevents exclusion. #MentalHealthMatters #EveryVoiceMatters #SLP

(4/4) A neurodiversity-affirming approach supports communication without shame. Let’s value all voices—stuttered or fluent. 💬 Supporting kids & teens in Waterloo, Ontario: communicatingtogether.ca #EveryVoiceMatters #SpeechTherapy #WaterlooON

Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates (CTT&WA) @communicate-rhonda.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

(3/4) Masking stuttering to appear fluent can come at a cost: anxiety, fear, and exhaustion. When fluency is seen as the only goal, well-being can be left behind. Let’s not confuse the absence of stuttering in someone who stutters with success. #MentalHealthMatters #SupportNotShame #SLP #Stuttering

031

Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates (CTT&WA) @communicate-rhonda.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

(2/4) What does covert stuttering look like? It often means switching words, avoiding certain sounds, or rephrasing—so the listener doesn’t hear a stutter. Internally, though, the person may be working very hard to sound fluent. #CovertStuttering #NeurodiversityAffirming #SpeechTherapy

032

Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates (CTT&WA) @communicate-rhonda.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

(1/4) 🗣️ Did you know some people who stutter may appear not to stutter at all—or only subtly? This can be a form of "covert stuttering"—when someone works hard to hide or avoid stuttering. Even if it’s less noticeable, it can still be deeply felt. #StutteringAwareness #CovertStuttering #SLP
