In this episode, I am joined by Sara MacIntyre, M.A.,CCC-SLP. Sara is the director of YouSpeak, a private practice in Philadelphia, where she works with individuals of all ages who stutter. Sara earned her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2013 and holds a Bachelor’s in Finance from Lehigh University in 2009. In addition, Sara is the Director of Programs for Stuttering Foundation where she hosts both the Stuttering Foundation Podcast as well as a monthly webinar series Virtual Learning by Stuttering Foundation. She is also an Adjunct instructor at Teachers College, Columbia University within their graduate Speech-Language Pathology Program.  Sara has presented nationally and internationally on a variety of topics related to holistic, whole-person therapy, covert stuttering, and the importance of support, self-advocacy, and self-disclosure. She is a strong believer that the most impactful and effective means of clinical learning is learning from the lived experiences of individuals who stutter themselves.
