Chamonix talks about her second presentation at the 2009 ASHA Convention in New Orleans: a poster about Board Recognized Specialists in Fluency Disorders.
Board Recognized Specialists are individuals who have demonstrated a high level of clinical expertise in treating fluency disorders like stuttering, advanced knowledge, and a commitment to serving people with fluency disorders. Catherine and Chamonix are Board-Recognized specialists, and Carl is working toward his Board Recognition now.

Chamonix,
Just wanted to say you did a great job with this video. I even showed it to my mom, because earlier she had asked me what a person had to do to be become a BRS-FD. Thanks for the great information.

Thanks Sarah! I’m glad you found the information helpful, good to hear. Eric will soon upload another video related to this one where a clinician who is going through the process right now came and observed me all day last Friday as a part of completing her observation hours. She shares how she became interested in BRS-FD and how she is finding the process herself.

Chamonix,
You are giving the presentations and its really a big task for every stutterer. But, I would like to say that I can do this! Even in front of hundreds of people! Thanks for your humbleness, and thanks from the side of all stutterers. Keep up with your good work in the future also!
Best Wishes,

Anuj,
Thank you for your kind words and well wishes. Yes, giving presentations and speaking in front of a camera is a challenging thing. I am still getting used to it and get nervous! I don’t stutter myself but talking in front of groups where all eyes are on you can make anyone nervous!!! So, were you saying that you DO speak in front of large groups? I have many clients who speak in front of groups at work…..advertising writers, lawyers, doctors, students giving presentations, teachers, financial research analyst, etc. They are so courageous facing their fears.
