In this podcast episode, Kathleen Scaler Scott, Ph.D., CCC-SLP provides speech-language pathologists with an introductory, practical framework for identifying, assessing, and treating cluttering. Using the "Lowest Common Denominator" (LCD) framework, clinicians will learn to identify the core features of cluttering. Dr. Scaler Scott also addresses how to assess cluttering within the context of other related conditions or co-occurring diagnoses. In addition to assessment, Dr. Scaler Scott explores the real-life impact of cluttering on communication, participation, and self-perception. Participants will gain practical strategies for treatment, including techniques for rate regulation, improving naturalness, navigating listener interactions, and promoting self-advocacy.
