ANNUAL CONFERENCE WORKSHOP SUBMISSION FORM
Please complete the Workshop Submission Form below.
About the Conference: The goal of our conference is to help those who stutter to explore attitudes toward speaking and stuttering, gain self-confidence, and hear the latest in stuttering research and treatment. Persons who stutter make up a diverse group, with no two people stuttering in exactly the same way. Because of this, the management of stuttering is an individual journey, and one that we’d like to be a part of. Because one size does not fit all when it comes to stuttering, we strive to include a variety of perspectives and ideas when planning our conference. The NSA does not endorse any specific stuttering treatment, but instead presents several different approaches and a variety of ways to enhance self-confidence and communication skills. It is our hope that attendees will leave the conference with at least a few ideas that they can put to use in their personal lives.
Format of Presentations: Workshop presentations will be given one hour and fifteen minutes per session with some exceptions of two-hour sessions.
General Workshop leaders need to provide background on the topic, present an interactive methodology for workshop attendees to follow, facilitate the activity, close and conclude the workshop.
