As guests arrived at
\nCal State Fullerton\u2019s 17th Annual Fluency<\/a>
\ntwo-day conference, they were greeted by Educational Outreach Director and Chair of the
\nCal State Fullerton\u2019s Center for Children Who Stutter<\/a>
\nGary Montooth, MA, CCC-SLP and Conference Chairperson. Faculty members and graduate students in the Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) program at Chapman University\u2019s Crean College were in attendance including,
\nDr. Judy Montgomery<\/a>
\n, Professor and Chair of the CSD Program,
\nLoryn McGill,<\/a>
\nM.S., CCC-SLP, Professor of Fluency Disorders, second-year CSD graduate student
\nLisa Bombarda<\/a>
\nand first-year CSD graduate students, Alexis Ahmadi, Ani Marganian, and Trisha Thapar.<\/p>\n

“Stuttering is a topic that many people have little knowledge about, and most people fear. \u00a0Our students learn to provide effective therapy for persons who stutter. \u00a080% of persons who stutter and have effective therapy recover, and have normal speech patterns.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Judy Montgomery states of the power of effective therapy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dr.
\nTwo guest speakers from the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at the University of Maryland, Vivian Sisskin, M.S., CCC-SLP, BCS-F and Nan Bernstein-Ratner, Ed.D., CCC-SLP, BCS-CLLD, both of whom are board certified specialists in child language and fluency disorders, gave talks on their work and research. Sisskin spoke about speech disfluencies seen in individuals with autism, and her research in avoidance reduction therapy.<\/p>\n

Bernstein-Ratner discussed differential diagnosis, preschool treatment approaches, and the latest research related to stuttering. Sisskin invited two former clients from her avoidance reduction therapy group to share their stories about the \u201cup-side\u201d for a person who stutters.<\/p>\n

First-year graduate student, Alexis Ahmadi commented, \u201cI learned that a lot of focus on working with a person who stutters is about empowering them to enjoy communicating and that they should not feel ashamed or nervous to speak their mind. I think it\u2019s a really important aspect to include in therapy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More Orange County events related to communication and stuttering will be held in the future. Chapman University and Loryn McGill, M.S., CCC-SLP will be hosting a \u201cFRIENDS Who Stutter\u201d one-day conference on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at the Chapman University campus in Orange, California. This conference will have workshops designed for children, teens, siblings, parents, graduate students, and speech-language pathologists. Each workshop will include presentations, small group discussions, and engaging group activities. Check our
