ISA Conference 2010
9th Congress for People Who Stutter
Where: China
Vereniging Stottercentra Nederland
(VSN)
Er is een nieuw vloeiendheidsbevorderend oorapparaatje
op de markt: VoiceAmp. De werking van het apparaat is gebaseerd
op het koor-spraak principe: als je samen praat, gaat het
spreken bij iemand die stottert vloeiender. Elk stottercentrum
aangesloten bij de Vereniging Stottercentra Nederland heeft
een apparaat.
Iedereen kan een afspraak maken en het apparaatje
uitproberen.
De therapeut zorgt voor de juiste afstelling
van het apparaat en zal het gebruik van het apparaat begeleiden.
Tevens beschikken de Stottercentra over informatie hoe te
handelen bij aanschaf. Op de eerstvolgende studiedag “Nieuws
onder de Zon” in 2008 zullen we onze ervaringen presenteren.

Conference)
Another successful conference was held in July 2008 at St Catherine’s College, Oxford.
As well as a wealth of new research data, VoiceAmp were delighted with the initial results of the UK clinical trial of
the Telephone Assistive Device(TAD) presented by Monica Bray (Leeds University) and her team. We will keep you
updated on these developments.
