Covert Stuttering: Transitioning from Covert to Overt
Dates Available: 07/23/2020 to 06/30/2025
Registration Deadline: 06/30/2025
Presented by Vivian Sisskin
Many people who stutter who can "pass" as fluent in daily life are desperate to do so despite the emotional cost: anxiety, dread, and fear of potential stuttering; exhausting "mental gymnastics" to avoid words or remain silent; and poor self-confidence as a communicator. Adults with a covert profile of stuttering share their experiences and provide insight into their personal journey toward self-acceptance. Vivian Sisskin, M.S., CCC-SLP, BCS-F, Clinical Professor, University of Maryland, College Park presents the basics of a treatment plan that supports stutterers with a covert profile to embrace their identity and confidently say all they want, when they want.

We offer two versions of every online course. The CEU Assessment Only version of each course is for those who previously purchased the course DVD or book and are now interested in purchasing access to the test only in order to earn ASHA CEUs for the material. The Video/Book plus CEU Assessment version is the complete package and allows you to study the material and immediately take the assessment to earn your ASHA CEUs.
*If you are not an ASHA member, you can still take our Continuing Education courses. Simply enter "NA" in the ASHA Number blank when filling in your profile information.
Expiration Dates: You must complete and pass the CEU assessment for each course BEFORE the expiration date indicated for the course. We cannot report CEUs earned after the course expiration date to ASHA.
As a nonprofit Foundation, we strive to keep our prices to the bare minimum to better serve those who stutter. As most products are available at or below cost, purchases — including online continuing education courses — are nonrefundable. It is gifts from donors that enable us to offer quality products at these affordable prices.
