CONGRESO IBERO-AMERICANA DE TARTAMUDEZ the Stuttering Foundation in Peru


Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, Director of Programs and Education, traveled to Cusco, Peru to represent Stuttering Foundation at the Congreso Ibero-Americano de Tartamudez, a conference organized by Stuttering Foundation friend, Goncalo Leal, of Portugal and Rosa Luz Aguero of Peru.


OCTOBER 2019 The Congreso Ibero- Americano de Tartamudez conference was the inaugural Latin American Congress for Stuttering focused on bringing together clinicians and researchers from across Latin America in efforts to increase clinical knowledge and competency while growing the Latin American stuttering community.


It was a wonderful experience for Sara to present the history of Stuttering Foundation and an overview of resources for clinical education to attendees including the new digital offerings: Virtual Learning by Stuttering Foundation and the Stuttering Foundation Podcast. In addition, she was able to connect with former Stuttering Foundation workshoppers from all across Latin America!


While adjusting to the altitude, Sara had the chance to explore some of this absolutely beautiful region of Peru—from visiting infamous Macchu Pichu, to hiking Rainbow Mountain (at 17,000 ft!), to visiting a traditional Quechua (native Incan) Village. It was a trip of a lifetime, and a great reward to see Stuttering Foundation fulfilling its mission in yet another part of the world.
