Description | In this digital age, the necessity for incorporating video games into stuttering therapy has started to become apparent. Many instances of communication naturally arise during video game play, which could be ideal times to work on communication and stuttering-related goals. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative research initiative is to engage in meaningful conversation with speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who actively infuse video game experiences into stuttering therapy sessions. Through semi-structured interviews with between eight and ten SLPs, participants will have the opportunity to speak honestly about why and how they use video games in stuttering therapy. |
