A success story: Chamonix featured on the ASHA website

By AIS, 4:53 pm

Last November at the ASHA Convention in New Orleans, some ASHA representatives were videotaping clinicians to find out what their stories were and how they got into the field. I was approached while on my way to the poster hall and agreed to do it.  They said they would select some of the clinicians and it may end up on the ASHA website.

I totally forgot about it and recently a colleague from an old job emailed me that when he went to the ASHA website, he saw the video and was now asking for an autograph (you know, as a joke).  :)

Laughing aside, I think it is interesting to see what drew people to our field. For me, I was drawn to the area of stuttering right off the bat in graduate school.  They chose to air that story that I told.

See Chamonix’s video on the ASHA website.

In the meantime, here are two articles relating to the gala:

And we hope that you enjoy this gorgeous slideshow of photos from the evening.

Our beloved Catherine Otto Montgomery (1951–2010)

By AIS, 3:59 pm

Our dear founder and Executive Director of AIS, Catherine Otto Montgomery, passed away last week after an extended fight against cancer. A week later, we are still processing this loss in the midst of keeping the work of AIS going. The work before us is imposing, but with the AIS family behind us and Catherine’s fiery spirit driving us, we plan to reach the goals that she had for us and beyond.

Visit this page to join the many others who have left an expression of love for Catherine.

Thanks also to our friends at StutterTalk, who lovingly remembered Catherine in their latest podcast.
