Calling all adults who stutter

1 JANUARY 2003

Do you stutter or know someone who does? Charles Sturt University (CSU) staff and students are running intensive stutter treatment sessions for adults in Albury-Wodonga and surrounding areas between Monday 16 November and Friday 20 November. Final-year CSU speech pathology students will be supervised by Albury speech pathologist Ms Lisa Brown, who has conducted similar intensive stutter treatments over recent years and is completing her PhD research on stuttering with CSU’s School of Community Health. “Around one per cent of all Australian adults stutter and it can make communication quite difficult. We will provide strategies and techniques to reduce the impact of stuttering, as well as provide invaluable training for the students,” Ms Brown said. The program starts with an assessment then intensive treatment for the remainder of the week. The program is also open to adults who have been in previous treatment and want to ‘brush up’ on their skills to deal with their stuttering. To take part in the treatment sessions, contact Speech Pathology Clinical Coordinator Ms Marion Vile on (02) 6051 6735 or send an email by Monday 2 November.
