Sharing with Students Who Stutter and their Families

Recently, we posted some ideas for preparing for National Stuttering Awareness Week on our Stuttering Therapy Resources Facebook and Instagram pages. We focused on suggestions for communicating with students who stutter and their families in the E-Learning world.

Our followers asked if I would share some of the links I used with my own students. So, here are several examples:

Platform I am using: Padlet: https://www.Padlet.com
