Good news for the Canadian Maritimes! There are now expanded resources for people who stutter in Eastern Canada, including an annual conference event to be held on November 2. The Newfoundland conference will be held in Mount Pearl by the Newfoundland and Labrador Stuttering Association (NLSA).
If you are a person who stutters, family, friend, colleague or employer of a person who stutters; a speech-language pathologist, teacher, guidance counsellor etc, you will find the NLSA conference to be a very worthwhile, educational and enjoyable day. This one day event is a chance to learn about stuttering, interact with other people who stutter and SLPs, and attend workshops and seminars about stuttering.
The NLSA is currently working to get status as an official non-profit organization. For more information you can contact Greg O'Grady.
More information about the conference will be available at a later date. In the meantime you can connect with the NLSA on Facebook.
