Learning and Education. We are
biologically wired for oral language but
not for written language. Current brain‑
imaging research has shed new light
on how the reading and writing brain
develops and, together with behavioral
research, supports a multi‑linguistic,
speech‑to‑print approach for reading and
writing instruction and intervention. You'll
learn a variety of multi‑linguistic, speech‑
to‑print methods and activities which
leverage the biological wiring of the brain
for oral language to help students learn
how to read and write.

Mindfulness and Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT) has vast
clinical potential in addressing stigma
and negative self‑perceptions with
People Who Stutter while assisting these
individuals to develop a values‑based
life and create psychological flexibility
regarding their communication. This
experiential session will apply the six
core processes of ACT to the treatment
of people who stutter across the
lifespan, with special attention to the
impact of self‑stigma, public stigma
related to stuttering, and traditional
stuttering treatment.

Finland between a CSHA delegation from
California and Finnish colleagues. Finland
is known for its premiere education
system including support services and
advances in the clinical and educational
areas. Five global competencies will be
