CONTINUING EDUCATION
FOR SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS
AND GRADUATE STUDENTS
If you are a speech-language pathologist...
Camp Shout Out is a continuing education opportunity to actively learn about helping school-age children and teens who stutter. This hands-on, well-supported training experience involves both small and large group interactions. You collaborate with certified experts in stuttering while gaining insight into campers' experiences, thoughts, and feelings related to communication. Critical thinking skills are highlighted and enhanced throughout, and time is allotted for old-fashioned camp fun! Participants are carefully selected by application each year.
If you are a graduate student...
If you have a strong interest in learning more about children who stutter, you are encouraged to apply to this unique opportunity. In addition to hands-on experiences, you collaborate with fluency experts, speech-language pathologists from across the globe, and graduate students from other universities. Throughout the week the opportunity to participate in traditional camp activities is provided. Practicum hours are available with prior university approval.
