CE Course Overview

About Dine & Development Format Courses

speech IRL’s Dine & Development courses are designed to provide a learning experience in a collaborative, intimate, interactive environment. These courses feature 1-2 speakers presenting on a specific clinical topic, with active discussion, question, and contribution from audience members throughout.



Course Content

This workshop introduces the 3Es Model for Stuttering Therapy, a tool to assist generalist clinicians in selecting appropriate, evidence-based treatment activities for clients who stutter, both children and adults. There are ever-increasing options for effective stuttering interventions: avoidance reduction, ACT, biofeedback, plus all the “classics” like fluency shaping and stutter modification. How do you know which one to choose??

The 3Es model, and corresponding toolkit, was designed for the SLP who has learned about many stuttering treatment options, but needs support figuring out which one to use. This model does not include new intervention methods. Rather, it is a framework to analyze, evaluate, and select specific interventions based on a client’s individual profile.

Katie Gore, MA, CCC-SLP and Courtney Luckman, MA, CCC-SLP present the theory and research behind this model. Applications and examples are discussed collaboratively between presenters and the audience.



Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify 3 treatment areas to target in stuttering therapy.

  • Identify 5 activities to implement in sessions.
