They also rated their need for consultation from speech-language pathologists who specialize in stuttering to improve their skills with SWS.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Respondents were least confident in and needed most support for providing intervention to SWS. Those who needed most support for intervention rated themselves as less knowledgeable about stuttering theory, assessment, and intervention and were less confident about working with students who only stutter and with SWS who have concomitant communication concerns. Greater practitioner confidence in stuttering intervention skills was positively correlated with the number of SWS on caseloads; continuing education credits in stuttering; and knowledge of stuttering theory, assessment, and intervention. Respondents who completed a graduate course on stuttering had greater confidence in stuttering intervention and were less likely to identify a need for support from specialists.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>School speech-language practitioners continue to report needing additional education, practice opportunities, and support, especially with intervention, and desiring specialized guidance to serve SWS. Those with more experience, education, and knowledge about stuttering are more confident and skillful, reflecting the potential positive impact of increased opportunities to learn about and work with SWS. These needs may be addressed through increased availability of specialists in stuttering to consult with school practitioners; opportunities for school-based practitioners to become peer mentors; and provision of readily available, intervention-focused continuing education experiences and resources.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1044\/2020_lshss-20-00028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,22]],"date-time":"2020-09-22T21:28:18Z","timestamp":1600810098000},"page":"1156-1171","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Stuttering Practice Self-Assessment by School Speech-Language Practitioners"],"prefix":"10.1044","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5701-5156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ellen M.","family":"Kelly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1520-0606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cara M.","family":"Singer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Communication Sciences and Disorders, Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids, MI"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jack K.","family":"Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenton O.","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1310","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","unstructured":"American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
