Professionals who work with children and teenagers who stutter are encouraged to attend the seminar. Research has highlighted many new trends which in turn have an influence on how these learners should be manage in the home and classroom setting. Therapists and teachers alike often need assistance in managing these learners within a collaborative system. Often parents cannot are not able to consult regularly with teachers and therefore the school needs to help to support these learners.

The focus of the second session is for adults with a stuttering problem and how this problem impacts on the individual in the work place. The aim is to empower employees with knowledge so that they glean a better understanding of their position at work. Furthermore employers should learn more about employing persons who stutter.
