Fluency Conference Scheduled at Cal State Fullerton

Cal State Fullerton will be the site Friday, Oct. 22, of the sixth annual Fullerton Fluency Conference, a program designed to assist speech-language pathologists in using computers in therapy with children.

This year’s featured speaker is Anthony J. Caruso, a software designer of interactive programs. The conference is scheduled from 1-5 p.m. in Room 320 of Langsdorf Hall.

“This program will focus on interactive e-therapy for speech-language pathologists,” said Sherri Wolff, clinical director for the university’s Center for Children Who Stutter. “What makes this program unique is the interactive use of the computer with the children.” The software is designed for use with children who stutter or have other speech disorders.
Cost for attendees is $85 per person.
