ISA is pleased to announce the schedule for Conference Day 2015 taking place on Saturday April 18th. Registration begins at 9.30 a.m. A full schedule is presented below.

Our day ‘caint gan eagla’ meaning ‘talk without fear’. is a reminder that no one needs to fear speaking – including those who stammer. The day is open to everyone connected by stammering including adults who stammer, young people who stammer, and parents of those who stammer.
