International Stuttering Awareness Day

#38

International Stuttering Awareness Day happens every October and it’s an online conference! It’s happening from October 1-22. Here’s more information about this unique event:

Stuttering: More Than a Tangled Tongue is the theme of the twelfth annual International Stuttering Awareness Day online conference, hosted by Judith Kuster, Minnesota State University, Mankato, will open October 1. It can be found by going to The Stuttering Home Page  (www.stutteringhomepage.com).

The online conference features several papers written by well-known professionals and consumers (people who stutter/clutter) from around the world.  Participants can read papers and interact with the presenters on easy-to-use threaded discussions attached to each paper, during the three weeks the conference is “live” – from October 1-22.

The ISAD online conference is freely available or can be taken for Continuing Education (1.5/15 hours) or one university credit (either graduate or undergraduate). Instructions and requirements for CEU or credit are online at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/isadarchive/requirements.html.

Papers remain available online after the conference has ended and all past conferences are archived and available at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/isadarchive/onlineconference.html

Participate!

This is an open-mic podcast. I encourage you to record some audio of yourself and email it to me at coolstutter@gmail.com.

I'll play it on my next episode!

This way, we all hear each other stutter and feel less alone with our speech impediment!
