We are delighted to announce our first keynote speaker for IASLT Conference 2023 - Christopher Constantino
Christopher Constantino lives in Tallahassee in Florida with his wife, Megan, and sons, Augustine and Sebastian. He is a speech-language pathologist at Florida State University.
Christopher studies how the lived experience of stuttering interacts with culture and society. Christopher’s hope is to improve the stuttering experience by helping people who stutter develop more robust stuttering identities and by developing therapies that make the experience of stuttering more joyful. Christopher takes a stutter positive approach in his work, asking what do people who stutter and those around us gain from our stuttering? He clinically supervises graduate students and teaches graduate classes on stuttering and counselling. Chris enjoys riding his bicycle.
Christopher Constantino provided a TEDx Talk in 2022. Here he discusses what it's like to live with stuttering and how it has opened opportunities to have true human connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n3YS7GdQ0k
