In this one-hour presentation, Sarah Delpeche, MSc, BSc(Hons), RegMRCSLT, RegHCPC of the Michael Palin Center for Stammering Children in London, begins with a summary of the current evidence base related to temperament, stuttering frequency and stuttering impact in preschool children who stutter. She presents the findings of her recent research, The Role of Temperament in Stuttering Frequency and Impact in Children Under 7 (Delpeche, Millard & Kelman, 2022*), and goes on to discuss clinical implications and provides practical examples of how to support young children with their emotional reactions as part of therapy.
