FRIENDS (National Association for Young People Who Stutter), the Stuttering Foundation, Heartland AEA and the UI Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Center is sponsoring a one-day workshop for children who stutter, their families and speech-language pathologists. The workshop will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at the Heartland AEA Regional Education Center.
The workshop format includes presentations, small discussion groups, panel presentations and group activities. Children, teens, siblings, parents and speech-language pathologists attend sessions that are geared specifically to their needs, but an additional focus is on shared activities that help everyone gain different perspectives about stuttering. Adults who stutter will also be invited to share their stories and experiences with participants.
There will be ASHA accredited CEUs offered to speech-language pathologists, and the price can’t be beat ($60.00 for .5 CEUs; special discounted rate of $25.00 for SLPs who register to attend with a child and his/her family). Registration is free.
