SUMMARY

Inspired by presentations made at the 2002 SID#4 Albuquerque Leadership Conference, two fluency specialists from South Carolina were challenged to inaugurate an intensive gathering of school-age fluency clients that would also provide training for parents, students, and clinicians. The University of South Carolina offered the site and sponsorship for the continuing education project.

Two training days for SLPS / SLP students preceded the Roundup.
