Stuttering Devices

Clinical symposium End of May.
There is a clinical symposium from May 22nd-26th at Cavtat on the Croatian coast. Suzanna and Mark have managed to get a wide range of therapists with different approaches to attend.

Some speakers are clearly chasing phantoms and I have already received two emails from people asking me to condemn the conference! But the conference is a good idea, and exposure to other approaches is never wrong.

I just hope that they (a) have real debates and not monologues with occasional giggly blonde meaningless talk, (b) don't fall into self-congratulatory mood, (c) look at outcome data for adults, (d) out Webster, Speak Easy, and Air flow as seriously misleading their patients on outcome, and (e) tell everyone how effective early childhood intervention is based on flawed studies.

Tip: If you want to save money, stay somewhere nearby and do not book via their agency!
I overpaid by 50% when I was at the ISA conference!
