The CSA is extremely happy to announce this year's recipient of our CSA Award: Chantel McAlonan!
Chantel is working on her Masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology at McMaster University in Ontario. Being a Person Who Stutters, she is particularly passionate about helping others with communication difficulties.
"Stuttering has negatively affected me during my childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, but it has ultimately made me a more empathetic and resilient person."
Look for Chantel's article on the CSA website coming soon!
On behalf of the CSA Board of Directors, we are honoured to offer this award to Chantel McAlonan and look forward to greeting her next year as an SLP!
Because of donations, we are able to continue offering our annual CSA Award of $500 for post-secondary students who stutter who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents! It is critical that we support our youth and we are grateful to be able to do so! Look for the announcement welcoming CSA 2025 Award applications next spring, 2025!
