The goal of the workshop will be to let people know that there is a network of support for people who stutter. This network is there for everyone at all the stages of their lives. The workshop will be an open forum to discuss the various types of support that are available and to find out the needs of people who stutter and their families as they go through their stages.
People who stutter are individuals and should be considered as such when looking for help or support. The network that a person who stutters develops should be customized to fit that person. The network is a team of people that may or may not include speech language pathologists, self-help groups and members, parents and/or friends, co-workers, etc.
The workshop will show participants all the various types of support and help that is available to them. It will also give people the opportunity to express their own concerns and/or ask questions.
The workshop will be aimed at children, teens and adults who stutter, families and friends of people who stutter and speech language pathologists.
$20 for adults, families and speech- language pathologists
$10 for students
