Taster Mini-KIDS: Working directly with stuttering behavior of (very) young children (2-6 years)

Systematic reviews indicate that direct interventions for young children who stutter, are effective. Recent knowledge about recovery and persistence needs to be involved in our clinical reasoning considering monitoring, counseling and intervention. Indication for direct intervention is discussed during this webinar. 
Mini-KIDS is a specific, multifactorial approach to empower parents and (very) young children in daring to stutter and being able to stutter. Parents act as an important model for their child. The direct aspect of empowering children to modify the moment of stuttering is not contradictory to allowing the stuttering and daring to stutter. This paradox will be tackled during the webinar. You will be invited to build up your own clinical reasoning and reference framework.
There will be time (10’) at the end for Q&A.
