Lisa A. Scott, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, of The Florida State University, discusses concrete strategies for establishing eligibility for school-age children who stutter according to IDEA guidelines.

Specific methods are described for documenting developmental, academic, and functional information for children who stutter. Then, applying evaluation data to determine adverse educational impact and the educational relevance of the child's stuttering problem is highlighted.

Examples from various state standards are provided as well as a case study profiling a specific case. (1 hour 50 minutes)
