Workshops: 2010

There are currently two main *free workshops running nationally in the UK & Europe. Introduction Workshops: A one day workshop incorporating the “Where technology has a role to play in dysfluency” introduction Part I (am) and the ‘Hands On’ Part II (pm). Follow up sessions: “Advance Calibration of the VA601/i" (Part III). These workshops are for therapists who have devices and software and are doing assessments. "Will this work for me"” this includes self assessment methodologies for PWS who have restricted access to therapy. AAF Training Venues in UK for 2010 TBA:

Due to overwhelming interest in these introduction workshops in 2008/9s these workshops have been extended into 2010 and corresponding Advance Calibration workshops will be running during 2010. Please note Advanced Calibration workshops are only available to SLT who have completed sessions **1&2.

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.

Results of this trail Published in: International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, Volume 11, Issue 1 February 2009 , pages 54 - 60 .
