EASTERN WORKSHOP 2023:
The Stuttering Foundation’s Eastern Workshop, led by Elaine Kelman and Ali Berquez from London’s Michael Palin Centre, drew strong praise from SLPs attending the sessions at Boston University in June, giving high marks to both the faculty and content for the five- day event.
Workshop attendees came from Brazil, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Chile, Italy, Jordan, Nigeria, Peru and Portugal, as well as California, Georgia, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Texas and Virginia to explore “Using Cognitive Approaches to Working with People Who Stutter.”
"I gained a lot of competence, a lot of emotional and human support, and a new passion for our work and for families I have met and will meet. AWESOME!"
“Since 1985, the Stuttering Foundation has conducted these intensive workshops in order to increase the pool of speech-language pathologists trained in the latest techniques for the treatment of stuttering,” said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation. “We are particularly excited that Ali Berquez and Elaine Kelman from the Michael Palin Centre in London once again led this year’s training.”

"This has been the critical missing link to my practice as a stuttering specialist. This course was easy to understand, and I can easily envision how I can implement it instantly when I go back home."
“Those who are selected to participate already have professional experience and are highly motivated,” added Diane Parris Constantino, M.A., of Boston University, and coordinator of the Workshop.
“Although the
Foundation provides full scholarships, many give up their vacations or part of their income to attend. Our task is to provide a forum where they can hone their skills.”
The Stuttering Foundation estimates that more than 80 million people stutter worldwide. It notes that the more than 400 past graduates of the Boston Workshop program have created a “ripple effect” back in their home communities as they continue to share their knowledge.
