Canadian Association for People Who Stutter (CAPS)
The Canadian Association for People Who Stutter (CAPS) now has an active World Wide Web page on the Internet at <http://webcon.net/~caps>. CAPS also has a long-distance phone number, 1-888-STUTTER, (788-8837), that can be called at no charge from anywhere in Canada. The Wiegand Memorial Foundation has provided much appreciated financial assistance for this toll-free phone line. We have also recently published the first issue of CAPS News, our quarterly national newsletter, which is also available on our Internet home page.
CAPS '97, the Fourth Canadian Conference for People Who Stutter, will be staged on August 14-17, 1997 in Vancouver on Canada's scenic West Coast. For a daily Internet camera (Netcam) view of the Vancouver skyline, we suggest you check out the following Internet site: <http://www.multiactive.com>. Previous CAPS conferences were in Banff (1991) in Canada's Rocky Mountains, Ottawa (1993), and Toronto (1995).
As well, CAPS and the National Stuttering
Project (NSP) in the United States are presenting a one-day conference
dedicated to the Year of the Child Who Stutters, in Toronto on
September 21, 1996. The conference will feature Internet Video
Conferencing enabling people from across the world to participate.
We also plan to use video applications at CAPS '97. If you are
interested in taking part in worldwide Video Conferencing projects
please contact David Block at <dblock@accent.net>. (Jaan

Foreningen For Stammere, Danmark
The Danish Association for Stutterers will celebrate its 25 years anniversary on October 25, 1996. We will make a conference with the title: "A Life With Stuttering". At the conference six speakers will tell about different persons of their lives. After this a panel will discuss how myths and ignorance about stuttering in the society in general can be replaced by knowledge about stuttering.

GERMANY
Bundesvereinigung Stotterer-Selbsthilfe e.V.
The German Association of People Who Stutter will be holding the 23rd German Stuttering Conference in Kassel, October 4-6, 1996.
At the moment our great challenge is: How to maintain the financial basis for self-help in Germany and our previous, extensive supply in our association, because the state will give up sponsoring self-help. Therefore we think intensively about how to get sponsors from economy and society.
Our association has a bit more than 1000 members
on July 1996. It is our goal to double this number during the
next years by many efforts, as for example in having more and
more contact persons in our regions for questions related on membership.
Our association again published new books.
One of them is an excellent brochure for adolescents. Scatman
John, Marilyn Monroe and others you can find nearly on every page
of this brochure. (Christoph Stosch)
INDIA
Fluency Club
Fluency Club has organized 1st Annual Conference
on People Who Stammer, a Project on Rehabilitation of Stammerers
on 18th May 1996. More than 200 people attended. The inauguration
was done by Delhi-Chief Minister Mr. Sahib Suigh Verma. Dr. J.C.
Nigam, senior speech therapist, and Dr. Rama Pandet, speech pathologist,
answered some very common questions raised by people about stammering
and its cure.(Roop Kumar Sharma)
JAPAN
All-Japan Genyukai Association
The 30th-Memorial-Convention (3-5/May, 1996) was finished with a remarkable success. We had about 200 participants. In the convention we had workshops, panel discussions, social activities and so forth. The keynote speaker was Tomoaki Ogura, one of the most famous announcers in Japan. He is a very fluent speaker before microphone, but he still stutters when he is relaxed! His speech encouraged and inspired us. And in the banquet we were able to "meet" Scatman John on screen (he sent us a video letter) and many people mentioned his video is most impressive. The next convention will be held in FUKUOKA.

Japan Stuttering Project (JSP)
The JSP held its 7th summer camp for children
from elementary school to high school ages who stutter and their
parents on August 9, 10 and 11, 1996. This is one of the major
annual events of the JSP. At this camp, participants undertake
open discussions about stuttering, and learn to accept stuttering.
They also undertake some speech training through performing a
play. According to our experience, the children may not find noticeable
changes in the symptoms of their stuttering, but will certainly
become more positive and active in their school lives. It seems
to be very significant for them to be able to meet other children
of their age who also stutter. About 60 children will participate
in this camp from all over Japan. (Shinji Ito)
NORWAY (a new member)
Norwegian Stammering Association (NIFS)
The annual weekend "Stam Camp" was held on the second weekend of June, 1996. This year the arrangement took place at the "Halmrast Center for Stuttering Therapy" where the Norwegian Stuttering Association was founded by students 20 years ago. To celebrate the 20th anniversary the founders and the various chairmen of the association were specially invited. Presentations were held by therapists at the center giving an overview of the therapy offered today, and various social activities were arranged over the weekend.
A working group has been set up to outline the strategy and goals of the association for the next coming years. The aim is to define specific tasks that the association is to concentrate on. The results of the working group is to be presented at the next annual meeting in March 1997.
The Norwegian Stammering Association (NIFS)
is concerned about the low priority therapy for adult stutterers
is being given. The recent trend in speech therapy in Norway,
is to concentrate on the children and reduce the therapy offered
to adults. NIFS feel that the improvement in one area of therapy
should not be achieved on the expense of the other. The association
has started a dialogue with speech therapy institutions and Norwegian
health authorities on this matter. (Nils O. Kristiansen)
THE NETHERLANDS
Nederlandse Stottervereniging Demosthenes
Several people are active in preparing our
second national awareness week planned for 1997. In all branches
of our association discussions are going on about the establishment
of an umbrella-information center about stuttering. Each organization
in this field will take part in the center but maintain its own
identity and objectives. The advantage is to have our central
office from where reference is possible and activities can be
coordinated.

UNITED STATES
National Stuttering Project (NSP)
The National Stuttering Project (NSP) has enjoyed a very exciting six months. In December 1995, Executive Director Michael Sugarman, Director of Development and Administration Annie Bradberry, Board Chairman Paul Young, former Board Chairman Ned Kelley and three additional NSP members attended the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) convention to run the NSP's exhibit booth and meet with the professional community. Many professionals stopped by to talk, meet us, and purchase NSP materials such as the new Year of the Child Who Stutters T-Shirts.
Michael, Annie, and Judith Eckardt attended ASHA's Special Interest Division for Fluency and Fluency Disorders Conference in Monterey, California at the beginning of May 1996. Lots of good collaboration continues between the NSP and the professional community.
Year of the Child who Stutters Symposiums were held in several cities this Spring. These programs were highly successful, brought together children who stutter, their parents, and speech pathologists who help children. It is a thrill to watch a child come into a room being a little shy, not sure of themselves or what the day will hold for them. By the end of the day, they are typically smiling and glad they came to meet other children who stutter. At the Fullerton, California Symposium a family from Pakistan attended the event! They were in California on travel.
A new program - called Speaking Circles - is being tested
in several NSP chapters. Speaking Circles challenges people who
stutter to be better public speakers. More details will be provided
later as we develop this exciting new program.

Working Group No. 1
This Working Group seeks to use the Internet and personal computers to assist in further development of an international database of information and resources for people who stutter - and their families - all around the world.
This ISA group has set up a World Wide Web site on the Internet, at <http://www.xs4all.nl/~edorlow/isa.html>. The site is maintained by Eddy Orlowski of the Netherlands, Chair of the Database/Internet Working Group.
The ISA Internet site currently
includes the following items:
Future projects will involve posting of the One Voice newsletter at the ISA Web site. As well, we seek to establish Internet links with still more organizations around the world that deal with stuttering.
We anticipate that more national databases of resources related to stuttering will be developed by national self-help organizations, and will be linked to the ISA site and other sites. We also seek to find still more effective methods for individuals and organizations to do searches of such linked databases, in a variety of languages.
As well, we anticipate that we will become active in development of Internet Video Conferencing, whereby ISA member organizations can take part in each other's national conferences through the medium of desktop video conferencing. For further information about Internet Video Conferencing projects, please contact David Block in Montreal at <dblock@accent.net>.
The Database/Internet Working Group is also working closely with the Outreach Working Group to establish contacts with Non-Government Organizations (NGO's) and professional organizations in parts of the world where ISA is not yet represented. These contacts are a first step toward contacting - or assisting in establishment of - national self-help organizations in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
If you would like further information, help
in setting up your own national World Wide Web site, or wish to
assist in the ongoing work of the two above-mentioned Working
Groups, please contact any member of the ISA Management Committee,
or Eddy Orlowski at <edorlow@xs4all.nl>, or Jaan Pill at
<jpill@interlog.com>.

Working Group No.2
These and many other comments were made this year during and after a symposium presented by the National Stuttering Project (NSP) (USA) as part of its dedication of 1996 as the Year of the Child Who Stutters. Ten symposiums have been scheduled in various parts of the U.S.; eight of these will have been presented by the time you read this. Remaining: Dallas, Texas, on September 21; and Los Angeles, California, on October 19. More than 250 parents, children and teenagers who stutter, and speech professionals attended the first five symposiums (New Orleans, Louisiana; Spokane, Washington; Cleveland, Ohio; Fullerton, California; and Chicago, Illinois). Two symposiums were held during June: Washington, D.C. and Long Island, New York, and one in July in Denver, Colorado.
The symposiums are designed for parents (who can "network" with one another and with leading experts in the field), for children who stutter (who will have the rare opportunity to interact with one another), and for speech therapists (who will be able to obtain current information about fluency treatment). The panels feature nationally known speakers as well as grassroots facilitation (and discussion) by adults who stutter and/or parents of children who stutter.
One of my objectives for ISA is to provide materials to members on how to organize a symposium (such as we have done this year in the NSP) on children and stuttering in their country.
For additional information, please contact
me. I can provide a copy of a grant proposal, information on
public relations, and a copy of the brochure by the NSP on the
Year of the Child who Stutters. I can also provide suggestions
on how to contact your local or national speech organization in
order to get speakers.

Working Group No.3
The outreach working group seeks to establish contacts with people who stutter in countries that are not yet members of ISA.
Chaired by Jaan Pill (Canada) <jpill@interlog.com>, the Outreach working group works in coordination with the ISA Management Committee (see elsewhere in this issue for names and e-mail addresses) and the ISA Database/Internet Working Group, chaired by Eddy Orlowski (the Netherlands) <edorlow@xs4all.nl>. The Outreach working group also seeks to coordinate information with ELSA (the European League of Stuttering Associations) and with IFA (the International Fluency Association). The contacts are: Edwin Farr (ELSA) <Edwin@ejfarr.demon.co.uk> and Woody Starkweather (IFA) <v5002e@vm.temple.edu>.
The Outreach group has recently been involved in communication related to starting of a self-help organization in Israel. Following a posting on STUTT-L, an Internet newsgroup devoted to stuttering, we were contacted by a therapist interested in seeing a self-help group get off the ground in Israel. Edwin Farr of ELSA, who along with Konrad Schäfers of ELSA has recently assisted in founding of a self-help organization in Greece, has followed up on that contact.
We have also established contacts with speech therapy departments in hospitals in Nigeria. These contacts have been initiated by Obim Okongwu <o.okongwu@utoronto.ca>, a chemical engineer from Nigeria enrolled in graduate studies at the University of Toronto.
We anticipate that contacts in Nigeria will lead to further contacts in Africa. We also seek to coordinate information with the Speakeasy Stuttering Association of South Africa, which will be hosts of ISA's Fifth World Congress of People Who Stutter in Johannesburg in the summer of 1998. The Fifth World Congress Internet contact address is <fvh@iafrica.com>.
We have also been updated on the efforts of ELSA to involve Eastern European countries in the next ELSA Youth Meeting, tentatively scheduled for a Benelux country in 1997. Increased contacts between associations in Eastern and Western Europe will significantly enhance the value of ISA's worldwide work on behalf of persons who stutter. As well, we are following up on contacts in China and Latin America.
In related news, Thomas Krall of the ISA management committee has arranged to have a contact address for ISA included on the package for a new CD by the popular singer Scatman John. This exciting initiative provides an additional means by which people who stutter around the world can learn of ISA's efforts to establish contact with them.
As well, Thomas Krall has acquired 39 UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) contact addresses from around the world, as part of a project that seeks to establish close communication and cooperation between ISA and UNICEF. The Outreach group has received a copy of the list of UNICEF addresses and is assisting the Management Committee in establishing contacts with UNICEF.
The outreach process calls for persistence,
creativity and taking advantage of chance opportunities. The potential
rewards are tremendous for all of us. You can assist in our efforts
to increase the worldwide flow of information about stuttering.

Working Group No.4
Public Relations (PR) in ISA
ISA has already had its first birthday! ISA was one year old on July 25, 1996. It is too bad that we were not together where we could sing "Happy birthday to ISA ..." and cut a cake!
The mission of ISA is of course worldwide. When we look back to Linköping, where the Constitution of ISA was ratified, we can say that this was one big step forward for improving conditions for children and adults who stutter and the parents of children who stutter in all countries. It's not a big step in terms of everyday life and practical problems, but it surely is a big step in creating stronger cooperation among all the independent self-help organizations of people who stutter - national and international.
In Linköping we talked about long term
goals in the work of ISA. Many good ideas, many "visions",
were presented - children outreach,
self-help outreach in the 3rd world and other nations, relations
with telephone companies, etc., etc. I think PR in this connection
is linked to everything that ISA is and does. Every project - short-term,
medium-term, and long-term - needs Public Relation - that is, communication skills
in many fields and levels.
The starting point of ISA and PR
In many ways, the starting point for developing
the work of the International Stuttering Association is very favorable.
National and international self-help organizations have already
been cooperating for many years. Most of us now have new friends
from many countries. We also have experiences to share; I guess
that all national organizations have some "special skills"
that can enrich the work of ISA. And, finally, modern technology - and
particularly the Internet - makes communication with each other much easier!
Short term - PR and the resources of ISA
I think that our first goal is to establish
strong cooperation between national organizations under this big
umbrella (ISA). We need to communicate with each other. This may
seem like a small thing but I believe that it is vital that we
do this. The work of ISA depends for its success on the work of
individual stammerers and their resources and enthusiasm. We all
know more or less how it is in our everyday life. The world goes
round and round. Time is one limitation. Our resources to do practical
work as a private person are limited.
Long term - employee in the future
In the long term ISA will need at least one person who can work full time in ISA, handling administration, correspondence, PR, etc. This person would work in close cooperation with the management committee and with the working groups. This is an issue that we should all think about. Another thing to think about is what organization (concerning the whole world) could help ISA start world wide cooperation. Perhaps the United Nations would give some support and advice, and/or perhaps those working in health care and different social fields could assist us.
Do you want to be a member of the Public Relations working group?
You will be very welcome with your ideas and
thoughts. Please write me or call me. Have a very nice summer
1996!

EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION AND STUTTERING
Working Group No.5
Let's hear from you!
We've heard a lot about the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), the legislation passed in the USA in 1990. What about other countries? Most of the information I've collected so far is USA-related - yet ISA is an international organization!
Please send me an e-mail, or a fax, or a letter.
Tell me about legislation (enacted or proposed) in your country
relating to employment discrimination against individuals with
disabilities (including people who stutter). Share with me some
stories about cases of discrimination in the job situation that
you know about, whether it involves a first interview or the unfair
treatment to an employee who happens to stutter.
ELSA meeting - "Stuttering and Employment"
I reported in One Voice 5 about the ELSA meeting in Denmark in November 1995, which was in part a follow-up to a seminar in Amersham/UK in May 1994 on the subject of Stuttering and Employment. Konrad Schäfers has provided me with the results of an ELSA survey among the European national stuttering associations, summarizing responses to questions such as these:
Internet - T. David Kehoe
Thomas David Kehoe (owner of Casa Futura Technologies and former president of the San Jose (California) chapter of the NSP, near where I live) has some excellent information on the Internet on "Stuttering, Employment, and the Americans with Disabilities Act" (FAQ#2). This can be accessed at <http://www.mankato.msus.edu/dept/comdis/kuster/stutter.html>. Look under "Information about Stuttering", then "Stuttering, Employment, and the ADA". Comments can be sent to David at Kehoe@netcom.com.
Printed out, this consists of six pages of
good material. An example: an interesting story from Woody Starkweather,
Ph.D., entitled "The Case of the Disfluent Weatherman".
The point: although a person may be hesitant or disfluent in speaking
(as was this weather forecaster for the National Weather Service),
it was wrong to conclude that the person was also "indecisive"
and therefore not a candidate for promotion. Another example:
included in David's material are two pages of suggestions on
"How to Handle Job Interviews."
Brochure
Through Michael Sugarman, I have learned of an attorney at a law firm in Oakland, California (near San Francisco) who is preparing a brochure on Stuttering and Employment. More on this next time!
Please send me information and interesting
stories from your country. We'll publish what we can in One Voice
7. Maybe we can include some in our ISA Web site.

RELATIONS WITH TELEPHONE COMPANIES
Working Group No.6
Summary
Working Group No.6 (Relations with Telephone Companies) was set up to assemble information about possible fundraising opportunities through requesting assistance and eventually obtaining donations or grants on a regular basis from telephone companies.
A group in Germany has been working on such a project for about three years in an effort to get funding from Telekom, the large telephone company in Germany. Not only is this phone company very profitable, but it is believed that many of the 800,000 people who stutter in Germany pay higher phone bills because of their speech rate, so it is appropriate that Telekom donates to self-help groups for people who stutter.
The working group will consider expanding
this fundraising effort - presently being led by the German Association
for People Who Stutter - so that a portion of the funds, when and if received, will go
to ISA and ELSA. Perhaps donations can also be obtained to support
international projects and to help cover rent and other office
expenses of these organizations.
Promotional plans later this year
In the autumn of 1996 the German Association of People Who Stutter plans to promote this idea publicly with press conferences, television, etc., based on the work of a national working group and the board of directors of the organization. Four or five other meetings are also planned to discuss and explain all the details. Also, a nice poster will be created to promote this campaign in a positive way. A suggested title for the poster is "Who earns most money from us?"
A "Telephone Company Discussion Paper" already exists in the first draft form in Germany. This draft will be discussed and perhaps revised somewhat in subsequent meetings to make it more perfect, more sympathetic, and more creative. However, the board of directors has authorized me to share this first draft in One Voice 6. Thank you to Marion Stelter, Martin Barde and Dr. Reiner Nonnenberg for your cooperation.
Some main parts of the 1st draft of the "Telephone Company Discussion Paper"
The German Association of People Who Stutter wants to cooperate with the German Telephone Company; favors a Social Sponsoring of the German Association by the Telephone Company; has concrete proposals to the German Telephone Company.
Our idea is not to pay for example 10 DM less fee per month for every person who stutters, or 20% less telephone charges for every telephone call. This seems to be problematic. Our demand is to drastically improve the conditions of adolescents, adults, parents of children who stutter and especially for our children. This we want to do in the future with the help of the Telephone Company.
The German Association of People Who Stutter is the organization that advocates the interests of people who stutter in Germany. Many of the 800,000 people who stutter in Germany are very handicapped in their speech rate. Because of this fact these persons have much higher telephone bills every month.
The German Telephone Company is the company in Germany which accounts every year more than 37 billion phone calls and sends 400 million telephone bills - and from this around 4 million to people who stutter. So the German Telephone Company has regularly a great deal more income because of this speech handicap - and has had this for 100 years.
People who stutter in Germany feel that the
Telephone Company should hand out this money again to help improve
conditions for people who stutter.
Concrete proposals
Why is this concept good for both sides?

With the help of the Telephone Company we
are on the right track to reach as undisturbed communication as
possible, on the national and international level.

"LET'S KEEP TALKING!!!"- This is the theme of the 1998 World Congress of People Who Stutter, and we certainly hope to continue stimulating the open communication and networking that was so much a part of the 1995 World Congress in Linköping, and so important in the community of people who stutter in general. Since the last newsletter, Speakeasy South Africa has been hard at work developing the preliminary brochure for the 1998 World Congress of People Who Stutter. By now some of you will already have these brochures. For those branches who have not yet received brochures, we would really appreciate it if you could let us know the number of brochures your organization needs so that we can get these to you as soon as possible. You can contact Marlene on fax number 2711-786-3916 to let her know.
The more people who come to the congress, the more successful it will be!!! Start saving now so that you can join us in Johannesburg from 5th through 9th July 1998 for a conference never to be forgotten in a country that will give you the chance of having the holiday of a lifetime!!
If you have any questions or suggestions about the 1998 World Congress of People Who Stutter, or if you are thinking of making a presentation, please contact us.
