Abstract
As with all aspects of our lives, communication disorders are mediated by the cultures we find ourselves within. Such cultural subjectivity in a field founded on scientific principles of evidentiary rigor can result in a disconnect between evidence-based practices and attitudes, therapeutic goals, and models of care enacted in a specific cultural-linguistic context. To better arm clinicians with the ability to account for these subjectivities and integrate them with best practices, this research will compare intervention approaches and cultural perceptions of stuttering in the United States and Italy. Through literature analysis and identifying future research areas, this work contributes to a growing body of work recognizing the critical nature of intercultural collaboration in speech-language pathology.
