Yep. SLP who stutters here. Previous supervisors have told me that I need to make sure to not stutter in the clinic room. Thus far I have failed spectacularly at that. I do however try harder to use strategies to promote fluency when working with a client with a receptive language impairment. The reactions clients have had to my stuttering have varied. Some have found my stuttering to be offputting well others have found it to be a source of camaraderie with me, still others didn’t seem to have a reaction (this is the most common). This is not unique. We are all individuals whom different people will have different reactions too. The SLPs you have spoken with on the phone that have said you need to be fluent in this field are wrong. There are many clinicians who stutter there have always been clinicians who stutter. There are also SLPs who suggest that people with an articulation impairment should not be able to be speech pathologists. Again I think they are wrong. If you can manage your stuttering (or articulation impairment) so that it does not interfere with your ability to do your job then you’re golden.
