Therapists Jazzed in The Big Easy

The Stuttering Foundation booth was really jiving at the American Speech-Language–Hearing Association Convention.

Popular items included new products as well as many of the classics: The 2009 DVD Tools for Success: A Cognitive Behavior Therapy Taster, the teen brochure Stuttering Myths, Beliefs, and Straight Talk, and the 8 Tips for Teachers and 7 Tips for Talking with Your Child flyers. Older, yet still popular products, were The School-Age Child Who Stutters: Working Effectively With Attitudes and Emotions workbook, the DVD Cluttering, and the book Self-Therapy for the Stutterer.

An energetic group of 29 volunteers helped staff the twenty-foot booth.
