Summary
This study explored the needs of adolescents who stutter during their transition from high school. It resulted in a discussion guide for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to support stuttering students in postsecondary planning.
Area of Science:
- Speech-language pathology
- Adolescent development
- Transition planning
Background:
- Adolescents who stutter face unique challenges during the transition to postsecondary life.
- Effective transition planning is crucial for successful outcomes in education, employment, and independent living.
- Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play a vital role in supporting these students.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand the needs of adolescents who stutter as they transition to life after high school.
- To develop an evidence-based discussion guide for SLPs.
- To aid SLPs in postsecondary transition planning for adolescents who stutter.
Main Methods:
- Four focus groups were conducted with adolescents who stutter, recent graduates, parents, and high school-based SLPs.
- Participants included 11 adolescents/graduates and 14 parents/SLPs.
- Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
Main Results:
- Themes were developed across postsecondary education/training, employment, and independent living domains.
- A common theme emphasized developing an open, proactive stance toward stuttering.
- The importance of discussing stuttering openly with others was highlighted.
Conclusions:
- SLPs are well-positioned to guide adolescents who stutter through postsecondary transitions.
- Key discussion topics for transition planning were identified.
- A printable discussion guide is available as supplemental material to support SLPs.

Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid.

This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
