This TU is offered in the second semester of the Master’s program in Speech-Language Pathology. It enables students to deepen their knowledge in the assessment and rehabilitation of stuttering, drawing on a holistic and cross disciplinary approach. Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a significant impact on social interactions and the quality of life of people who stutter. Research in the field of stuttering is extensive and continuously evolving, encompassing etiological factors, as well as aspects related to assessment and intervention. Therefore, this course aims to equip speech therapists with the skills to conduct diagnostics and implement targeted therapeutic projects tailored to the needs and context of individuals who stutter. Students will learn to analyze patient profiles more effectively, enabling them to consider evidence-based targeted interventions. Additionally, this course provides an opportunity to deepen knowledge related to advances in research on fluency disorders.
