Episode 273 features Halie Matthews, who hails from South East Georgia. She is a toddler teacher and works with 2 and 3 year old’s in a pre-school. She is also in the process of getting her degree in Early Childhood Education.

Listen in as we discuss what it’s like working with young kids and their interest in her stutter. She usually refers to it as “silly speech day” with the kids, and sometimes they will help her with a word.

We also talk about how during speech therapy, Halie’s SLP would pull up an episode of this podcast to listen to, which helped Halie so much toward acceptance. This made me feel so good as the host of this podcast that it was used and found helpful by a SLP.

Halie reports that it helped her to remove the pressure to be fluent, which actually helped her become more fluent.

What a great conversation!
