Episode: fACTS: fluency + Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for stuttering, and NAIDOC Week reflections S6E23
Description: In this week’s episode we speak start with a few reflections on NAIDOC Week and how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being, and doing add to our profession.
Next, we speak with Dr Alice Hart from Curtin University about an approach for stuttering that includes both fluency and cognitive/behavioural supports. She discusses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the role that mindfulness and acceptance/values-focus can play in the fluency, communication, and quality of life for people who stutter.
