In this episode, Lori discusses the vital role parents and families play in the therapy process. She explains why their involvement is essential for progress and how the lack of it can slow or even halt improvement.

For years, I wanted stuttering to go away with one quick trick. Sometimes these "tricks" seemed to help for a few minutes, but the stutter always came back. And worse, those quick fixes left me feeling frustrated and defeated. Now, after years as both a person who stutters and a speech pathologist specializing in stuttering, I know this: lasting change doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from courage, consistency, and support.
