Professional Education
Educating professionals around Australia
Within Australia and New Zealand professional education is conducted by a consortium under the banner Continuing Professional Education in Stuttering.
This program of professional education in stuttering is conducted for speech
pathologists. The program has been running since 1997 and has proved most popular with clinicians.
Events are conducted by researchers and clinicians from the ASRC, the Stuttering Unit at Bankstown Health Centre in Sydney, the
Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University, and Stuttering Treatment and Research Trust in Auckland. Events include workshops, internet discussion groups, clinic visits, and seminars.
Members of the CPES team may also provide presentations to other groups, such as preschool teachers, on request.
The CPES management committee comprises Margaret Webber (Stuttering Unit, Bankstown Community Health Centre), Dr Elisabeth Harrison (Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University),
Professor Mark Onslow (ASRC, The University of Sydney) and Dr Anna Hearne (Stuttering Treatment and Research Trust, New Zealand)..
To discuss your group's individual needs, email the CPES Coordinator or telephone (02) 9351 9061.
