Stuttering medias and fake news
Audrey Bigras
Sunday 10:00AM - 11:00AM EST
Research Commentary AllStuttering is still a mysterious topic with a lot of unknowns (even for the person who stutter themselves!). There is many myths and mis-information that are available about stuttering in the media and in society, but how can the people who stutter maintain critical thinking skills about all these information? This interactive workshop will give us the opportunity to have a discussion about it.
What to expect
After this workshop, I expect that the participants will be more aware about the importance to keep a sense of perspective about the information that we can find about stuttering and speech disabilities in the media (internet, social media, etc.) and in society.About the presenter
