"Just one more thing..." Taking a Columbo Approach to Cognitive Restructuring with Persons Who Stutter
2/18/2023 - 2/18/2023
1:30 PM - 8:30 PM CST

Event Description
Join us for the Communication Summit at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita!

An afternoon of continuing education followed by the Wichita Thunder hockey game!

Session Description: 
In these sessions, participants will learn about an approach to stuttering treatment that focuses on empathic listening and reconstruction of personal narratives. Participants will practice how to get clients to talk about possible alternative narratives as they restructure the cognitive view of the self and the problem. Additionally, we will explore practical therapeutic strategies and activities that promote taking action and recruiting the support of key individuals in the home and school environment and foster acceptance and self-advocacy in meaningful ways.
 
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
  1. Practice empathic listening with communication partners.
  2. Identify key components of a cognitive restructuring approach to stuttering treatment.
  3. Describe therapeutic strategies and activities that incorporate cognitive restructuring as evidenced by self-acceptance, action, and self-advocacy.
  4. Apply a cognitive restructuring approach to case examples of individuals who stutter.
