Holly will be presenting on the work that the Institute for Stuttering Treatment and Research does to help people who stutter communicate more effectively.

Stuttering is a communication challenge that causes the flow of speech to be broken up by repetitions, prolongations, or abnormal stoppages of sounds and syllables. It is estimated that over 300,000 Canadians are unable to order their favourite food, express their feelings or say what they want because of their speech.
