National Stuttering Association

SLPs And The NSA Annual Conference

The National Stuttering Association’s Annual Conference is the largest gathering of people who stutter. It is a life-changing event where people who stutter, their families, and the professionals who help them gather to learn from one another with the focus on self-help and support. Imagine a place where the “experts” include researchers and clinicians who specialize in stuttering, children and adults who stutter, and those who support them!

Workshops

Our workshops are recommended for SLPs, teens, young adults, parents, etc. Workshops are scheduled beginning on Wednesday continuing through Saturday afternoon. Topics cover the evidence-based treatment approaches, and self-help strategies from those who stutter. Highlights include panel discussions with covert stutterers, roundtable discussions with spouses and parents of those who stutter, and strategies for approaching everything from job interviews to dating. General sessions feature inspiring keynote speakers and invited guests. These are times when we all gather in the spirit of support and celebration.

There will be a variety of opportunities for SLPs to attend workshops designed with their needs in mind. Roundtable discussions with teens and adults who stutter as well as the parents of children who stutter will allow the SLP to hear the personal stories of individuals who stutter and their families in a setting that encourages SLPs to ask questions. Many workshops led by leading SLPs will be offered throughout the conference. There will be a number of don’t-miss adult workshops and other educational and enlightening seminars.

We are offering up to 1.2 ASHA CEUs during our Professional Development Experience, and an additional 1.2 ASHA CEUs during the Annual Conference.
