#51 The Spirit of SLP with Steff Lebsack

Steff Lebsack became a speech-language pathologist because she has an older brother, Jasper, who is a person who stutters. Steff focuses clinically on the treatment of stuttering and cluttering and is the current course designer/instructor for the graduate Fluency Disorders course for the Baylor University online Master's Degree Program. Steff believes that her role in the field of speech pathology is a life passion and not a career. She lives with her husband Kevin, her two beautiful young children Mary and Karter and a pug named Ritchie. When she isn't playing with her kids or catching up on stuttering current events, she can be found baking, writing or reading. She can even be found playing piano or the drums if you are brave enough to listen.   NOTES 0:00-22:30- Introductions 22:30-38:00- Stuttering and shifting it in acceptance, giving them the keys; chats with Dr. Phil 38:00-47:25- Transcending Stuttering Cohort & meaning behind it 47:25-54:40- Empathy in life and therapy; nicknames around the SLP community 54:40- 1:08:38- Love and marriage with Kevin; end   RESOURCES & LINKS Baylor University HOST BIO Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator of Transcending Stuttering Academy and faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.
