17:36:45 From  Sarah Onofri  to  Everyone:
	Enjoy dinner, Carl! 🙂
17:38:02 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Hello everyone! Welcome!!
17:38:31 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Please feel free to share thoughts and questions here in the chat
17:39:02 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	We will be saving sometime for audience Q&A. So, please post any questions you may have here.
17:39:25 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	And I will direct them to the panel during Q&A
17:43:59 From  Carl Coffey  to  Everyone:
	For Q&A time: similar to Sarah sharing her experience of meeting a teacher at the conference... have any of you had students of yours who have stuttered and confided in you for support/inspiration?
17:46:30 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	👍
17:48:40 From  Carl Coffey  to  John Ontiveros(Direct Message):
	I'm sad I have to leave early, but I know this will be a great conversation! Can't wait to see the recording.
17:48:51 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Wow.....so impressive Dr. Russell-Smith!
17:50:49 From  Robb Hurt  to  Everyone:
	I am a middle school dean of students.  I do all discipline.    I’m also an athletic director and a varsity football coach.   I agree with Dr Russel Smith.  Telling parents their student is suspended is difficult.  I get laughed at weekly.
17:52:59 From  Natalie England  to  Everyone:
	That is profound … "why do we value fluency so much when it is never there when we need it the most?" Thank you, Lucas.
17:54:20 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Yes Lucas, so profound!! I remember when I had that epiphany myself!
17:54:23 From  Holly Nover  to  Everyone:
	Hi Robb, I just switched from SLP to a "Junior School Administrator" and serve as a Dean at my school too.
17:55:52 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	That's so unfortunate Robb. But, I admire you and Dr. Russell-Smith so much for being willing to step up and have those difficult conversations as a person who stutters!
18:01:25 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	What a powerful moment Dr. Russell-Smith!
18:03:04 From  Anne Williams  to  Everyone:
	What an amazing moment of connection with your colleagues and community. You are a an inspiration.
18:04:14 From  Robb Hurt  to  Everyone:
	Saundra.   You rock!   I can totally relate!!
18:06:31 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	I can totally relate Lucas! I feel the need for new people to hear it from me.
18:07:01 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Esp with new co-workers
18:08:05 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Excellent advocacy all around Lucas!!
18:08:58 From  Saundra Russell-Smith  to  Everyone:
	“It’s engaging when you’re you!”  Lucas, I love that!
18:10:06 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	"Own it, admit it, it MAKES YOU STRONGER!"
18:12:28 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	Yes you are Lucas, great story teller!
18:19:16 From  Robb Hurt  to  Everyone:
	I find that kids are good with it.  Staff and parents are worse than kids.
18:25:09 From  John Ontiveros  to  Everyone:
	OMG so powerfully said Dr. Russell-Smith!

18:29:34 From  Holly Nover  to  Everyone:
	Such a great panel and great discussions! Thank you all!
18:31:21 From  Anne Williams  to  Everyone:
	Thank you, panel.
18:34:10 From  Zach Schwabe  to  Everyone:
	I know interactions with parents and students was talked about, what happens what it is a fellow teacher that makes a comment?
18:36:54 From  Holly Nover  to  Everyone:
	Same Sarah! I deal with adults I work with (including my Principal) who finishes my sentences too.
18:38:22 From  Saundra Russell-Smith  to  Everyone:
	Great point, Sarah. People do finish each other’s sentences without malice.
18:39:19 From  Sarah Onofri  to  Everyone:
	Glad you can relate, Holly! I do need to give my principal props because he has never finished my sentences. Assistant principal occasionally!
18:39:25 From  Sarah Onofri  to  Everyone:
	Thanks, Saundra!
18:47:41 From  Jamie Saunders  to  Everyone:
	That's the truth! Relationships are everything.
