I'm am thrilled to announce that I will be giving my first workshop at the National Stuttering Association's annual conference in Florida this July. As if that isn't exciting enough, I won't be doing it alone. My Dad is coming alone too!
Our workshop will be a "Father and son journey of discovery" session, specifically looking at the challenges of raising a child with a stutter. The focus will be on a parent's perspective, as this is something I feel it is lacking in the current literature (and I want to give my Dad a chance to shine, as he claims to be a master orator). In all seriousness, I am really excited and committed to creating a safe space where people can come together and talk honestly about these issues.
Our workshop is provisionally scheduled for Friday the 5th of July from 1:30-2:45pm and I will be at the conference for the whole duration (from the 2nd-7th of July). You can find out more about the National Stuttering Association and the annual conference at https://westutter.org/conference/
I have to give a huge shout out to my Dad for travelling from Dublin to support me and my amazing friends who helped me with the submission proposal. I will be documenting this adventure and continue to share it on this website.
Roll on July.
