Share an experience in a stuttering support group
When to use this goal
For older students who stutter who want to meet others who stutter through a school, district, online, or community group. Base the choice on the student's interest. Talking about stuttering with peers who stutter can lower isolation; joining is always optional.
- Baseline
- Talk about whether the student knows anyone who stutters and their interest in a group. Record the first few meetings to set a realistic target.
- Tips
- Each meeting is one opportunity; score correct when the student shares in any form. Listening-only meetings are fine early on. Families choose community groups; staff do not require them.
- Limits
- Groups may not exist locally; online groups need family consent and supervision. Attendance outside school is not something a school can require.
