Stuttering, medias and "fake news"

Audrey Bigras

Sunday 2:45PM - 3:45PM EST

Topical

Macdonald

Stuttering is still a mysterious topic with a lot of unknown, even for the people who stutter themselves. There are many myths and information about stuttering available in the medias and society. But how can the people who stutter keep a critical sense about these informations? This interactive workshop will give participants the opportunity to have a discussion about it.

What to expect

After this workshop, I expect the participants will be more aware of the importance to keep a critical mind about the information that we can find about stuttering in the medias (internet, social medias) and the society.
