Upcoming workshops for SLPs

The Comprehensive Stuttering Program (CSP) approach authored at ISTAR is available in a condensed 2-day workshop format to practicing clinicians.  Hundreds of students and practicing clinicians have learned this evidence-based approach in the past 30 years through participating in clinical traineeships at ISTAR. The efficacy of the CSP approach has been well researched and reported in several journal articles.

This 2-day basic workshop in 2024 includes a summary of etiological theories about stuttering and therapy approaches for school-age, teen, and adult clients. Participants will be trained in the identification of stuttering behaviours, fluency skill practice and instruction, delivery of accurate and appropriate feedback, and problem-solving. The workshop will be delivered in a live online format allowing time for questions and interaction. (The workshop will not be recorded for later viewing.)
