In this podcast, Brian Nolan and Steff Lebsack dive deep into the two different “camps” on stuttering therapy, how SLPs are trained to treat people who stutter, disclosure, trauma and more. Like many of the Springboard podcasts… it gets emotional.
Steff Lebsack became a speech-language pathologist because she has an older brother, Jasper, who is a person who stutters. Steff owns Lebsack Speech Therapy, a private speech therapy practice in Denver, Colorado that focuses on the treatment of people who stutter. Steff is part of the adjunct faculty at Baylor University and MSU Denver, teaching the graduate-level Fluency Disorders course. Steff is a PhD student at Idaho State University.
Steff is also Chair of the Board of Stamily, an international community, rich in diversity and bound by one shared experience: we stutter. Stamily aims to innovate, create a safe space, and connect the stuttering community.
It’s clear that Steff has her hands into all things stuttering: stuttering education, the clinical aspect and importantly, the international community around stuttering. Enjoy the podcast!
