Speech Language Pathologist / Clinical Instructor / NSA Caregiver
Christine Rose is a Speech-Language Pathologist who works as a graduate clinical instructor at St. Louis University. She is committed to raising awareness of stuttering as a form of verbal diversity and destigmatizing it in society. Christine co-leads a National Stuttering Association Caregiver virtual support group and the St. Louis Family Chapter of the NSA. The group’s mission is to invite parents and caregivers to express their hopes and fears and share the wisdom of their journeys as they support their loved ones who stutter. Christine is part of an effort to raise awareness about the Missouri driver's license medical alert notation for residents with a qualifying speech and communication difference. Qualifying conditions may include autism spectrum disorder, Alzheimer’s or Dementia, and other neurological or developmental disorders that affect verbal and nonverbal communication.
