Education
As a specialist centre, we provide professional development opportunities to speech pathologists, general practitioners, maternal and child-health nurses, and teachers. Our professional education is informed by our specialist clinical knowledge and experience, our research, and our teaching at a range of Melbourne universities. This education can be provided at our Melbourne Clinic, at your clinic or online. It is possible to organise a session for an individual, a group of clinicians at your centre, or to attend a group we organise throughout the year with clinicians from various clinics. Some clinicians prefer appointments on an ‘as-needed’ basis, while others schedule regular appointments.
Our Expertise
Mentoring
We provide individual and small-group mentoring for speech pathologists who wish to upskill on therapies for stuttering, or other topics regarding stuttering. We also offer case discussion sessions, to support you in providing therapy to your clients who stutter. By identifying and problem-solving barriers to progress in therapy, you will feel more capable to provide ongoing therapy to your clients.
Presentations
We provide presentations to speech pathologists who wish to upskill in stuttering. Also, we provide presentations to teachers, allied health professionals and general practitioners who wish to learn more about stuttering and when to refer to a speech pathologist. Topics for our presentations include Early Stuttering: An Introduction, Assessing Stuttering, Evidence Based-treatments for Stuttering, and Early Stuttering: Clinical Problem Solving. We can also tailor a presentation to your needs.
Workshops
Brenda Carey and Kylie Smith provide Lidcombe Program workshops to small or large groups of speech pathologists, while Brenda also presents School-Aged Clinical Skills, and Camperdown Program workshops in person or online. Our workshops are done in collaboration with Continuing Professional Education in Stuttering (CPES), the premier providers of post-graduate professional development in stuttering in Australia.
