About this listen

Kyle Pelkey is a Speech and language pathologist at the Chmela Communication Center in Illinois. Kyle is also a person who stutters. In this deeply educational podcast, Kyle joins the Stuttering Springboard Career Peer Group to talk about how the brain governs our reaction to our stutter. In technical terms, it’s the neuroscience behind emotional reactivity (ie: stress responses). The group discusses the power of mindfulness and pseudo stuttering to control how we think about stuttering.

Kyle is forever grateful for the relationship with his mentor Kristin Chmela, Owner and Director of Chmela Communication Center and a leader in the field of stuttering therapy.
