The University of Oregon HEDCO Fluency Center provides several regular and intensive summer options for children, teens, and adults who experience disfluency due to stuttering, cluttering, and/or acquired neurogenic stuttering.
One intensive camp, Youngsters Experiencing Stuttering--YES Camp, occurs July 6-July 23, 2020 (Mondays-Thursdays) from 9:00am – 12:00pm. This camp is designed for children ages 3-years to 8-years and their families. There are school-age intensive opportunities during weeks of June 29, July 27, and August 3rd. The YES Camp includes individual, small-group, and large-group activities for campers as well as caregiver and sibling training sessions twice weekly. The family-centered approach supports increased speech fluency for campers by coordinating family goals, strategies, and beliefs within each family's community and culture. Campers will learn how to produce easy, relaxed speech across meaningful social settings. Depending on each camper's awareness of and/or reactions to stuttering, they can also learn responsive strategies that can be used before, during, and after real stuttering. Active, multimedia home programs are established to support each camper's continued progress during the 3-week YES Camp and beyond into meaningful environments. In addition to fluency specialists (and speech-language pathology graduate clinicians), the camps might include counselors (to extend service opportunities for caregivers and siblings) and service animals (to expand fluency-enhancing conditions offered to campers). This powerful interdisciplinary approach synthesizes links between disciplines to coordinate individualized, family-centered approaches to fluency treatment. The YES Camp program fee is $750 (includes daily snack & all materials). The UO offers a generous sliding scale to ensure that families are not excluded for financial reasons.
Individual treatment options exist over the 6-week summer term (June 29-August 7, 2020) at the University of Oregon HEDCO Fluency Center, including intensive individual intervention:
(a) school-age children who stutter and/or clutter;
(b) school-age children with language-based disfluency or acquired neurological stuttering; and
(c) adults who stutter.
Please call 541-346-0923 for additional information about any of the fluency programs as well as summer registration opportunities. Please contact Dr. Jessica Fanning via email with questions about fluency services at the University of Oregon (jfanning@uoregon.edu; 541-346-2539).

Translating theory to practice is core to the mission of The University of Texas at Austin's Michael and Tami Lang Stuttering Institute within the Moody College of Communication and is emphasized across the wide variety of evidence-based community outreach programs offered. Camp Dream. Speak. Live. is a primary example of our emphasis on translational research as it has been proven to achieve the following for children (ages 4-18) who stutter: 1) increase their positive perception of their ability to establish peer to peer relationships 2) increase their communication competence and improve how they feel about their ability to communicate 3) enhance their leadership skills 4) lessen the influence of stuttering on their overall quality of life.
Dates for our annual day camp are Monday, June 17, 2019 through Friday, June 21, 2019, 9:00am-3:00pm with the option of extended hours until 5:00pm. For out of town, and international families, a limited number of on-campus dorm rooms for parent and child will be available for reservation. There is no set cost to attend, though we ask all families to make a donation to help expand our efforts as the waitlist of children from around the world who want to attend far exceeds the number of children we are able to serve. Requests to attend can be made via our website; a lottery for attendees will be conducted at the beginning of March. All remaining families will be notified of their child's place on our wait list.

Hello! We are so excited to announce our first ever camp for kids who stutter, Speak Up!, at Holland Speech and Consulting!! Speak Up! will be held during the month of June at our Holland clinic in Coppell on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. It is a camp for children ages 6-12 who have previously had or are currently receiving speech therapy services for stuttering. Through a fun camp atmosphere, we will be reviewing and practicing different fluency shaping and stuttering modification strategies as well as addressing a different hot topic in today's stuttering world at each session! There will be large and small group activities led by two speech language pathologists with a combined total of over 40 years of experience in stuttering and UTD graduate students who will bring fresh, creative, and fun ideas for games and activities! Speak Up! will be a great place for your child to meet other kids their age who stutter in a safe, yet engaging environment!
We do require that your child currently be receiving speech therapy services so that we may continue working on the fluency shaping (easy onset, pausing, slower rate) and stuttering modification strategies (cancellations, pull-outs, easy repetitions). Unfortunately, during Speak Up!, we will not have the ability to meet with children individually to identify their best strategies if they have not already been identified. If your child is not currently receiving services, but this is something you are interested in, please let us know and we can discuss possibly starting individual therapy sessions at this time.
Please visit our website: http://www.hollandspeech.com/groupform.html for more information about Speak Up! If you are interested in signing up for camp, you can fill out a "Group Interest Form" on the Holland website. Please let us know if you have any questions at all!
