Stuttering is still a mysterious topic with many unknowns (even for people who stutter themselves!). There are many myths and pieces of information about stuttering in the media and society, but how can we keep a critical sense about all this information? This interactive workshop will give us the opportunity to discuss it.
After this workshop, I expect that participants will be more aware of the importance of keeping a critical sense about the information we find about stuttering and speech disabilities in the media (internet, social media, etc.) and in society.
