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.
