Chamonix spotlighted by The Stuttering Brain and PediaStaff

By Eric, 4:26 pm

Chamonix is everywhere! She is currently featured on two sites, and here are the details:

1. Tom Weidig featured Chamonix’s video post on the SpeechEasy article on his blog The Stuttering Brain. Tom critically reviews the latest research and treatment approaches, and we appreciate his kind words.

2. PediaStaff has spotlighted Chamonix as their Author of the Month. Their site currently features a Q&A with her about school age stuttering. PediaStaff is a national staffing agency for pediatric therapists. They also offer resources to help educate clinicians in various fields.

I’m sure that we’ll be seeing more of our favorite clinicians around the Web soon. Thanks to Tom Weidig and PediaStaff for kicking off the trend!

May intensive program – last day

By Eric, 4:17 pm

It may be a little cliche, but it’s hard to believe that 3 weeks have already passed by. The May program group is finishing its last hour together here at AIS. We have more pictures and video to share with you from the group, but work has been busy with our benefit gala coming up along with just the day-to-day business of freeing voices and changing lives.

There’s much more to share from this group, so you’ll see them very soon.

May program – Introducing the clients

By Eric, 12:12 pm

Now into the second week of the May 2009 intensive program, we want to give you the chance to get updates from the clients to see what they’re doing, how they’re feeling, and just what a great group they are. Here are Aman, Andrew, Jane, Varun, and Yossi. [embedded video]

Please note that intensive clients are not required to participate in videos. This is just something informative and fun that we thought that our blog readers would be interested in.
