at the NSA Conference in 2014
In honour of the upcoming one-day Canadian Stuttering Association conference, CSA board member Daniele Rossi is featuring interviews with attendees from our events in the past.
It all began with a problem. The problem was that, fifty years ago, I stuttered so badly there were times I could not get out any words at all. Fortunately, I found a way to address this problem – by attending the ISTAR (Institute for Stuttering Treatment and Research) clinic in Edmonton in 1987. After that, I was able to speak more or less fluently even to large audiences.
A decision made last year by the government of Australia with regard to funding speech therapy for pre-school children who stutter has created a controversy world-wide in the global speech pathology community.
