The Sixth Oxford Dysfluency Conference
Please find below details of the Oxford Dysfluency Conference and the Michael
Palin Centre's involvement in this event.
Introduction
The Oxford Dysfluency Conference is an international conference focusing on all aspects of Dysfluency and is held every three years in Oxford. Sponsored by the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children, it is aimed at clinicians, academics and researchers in the area. For many years this has been the only international conference on dysfluency in the U.K. and we intend to ensure that ODC'02 is the best yet.
The conference provides the opportunity to meet with a group of people from all over the world who share an interest in dysfluency. Typically the delegates have come from Belgium, Eire, France, Germany, Holland, Israel, Norway, Sweden, the U.S.A. and of course Great Britain.
The purpose of this first announcement is to invite you to the Sixth Oxford Dysfluency Conference to be held from the evening of Wednesday 26th June until the afternoon of Saturday 29th June 2002. Because of the enjoyable time our delegates have had at the previous conference, we have decided to return to St.Catherine's College.
Location
St. Catherine's is the youngest undergraduate College in Oxford University. It is a distinguished example of the best of 1960's design, described by Pevsner as "a perfect piece of architecture". The College has all the benefits of modern facilities, whilst being a short walk from the cloisters and quads of traditional Oxford. Lying just to the north of Magdalen Bridge in the Holywell Great Meadow, between two branches of the River Cherwell, St Catherine's is one of only a handful of buildings built since 1945 to be Grade 1 listed.
All accommodation and dining for the conference will be within the College itself. We will be starting the Conference with our traditional wine and cheese party on the evening of the Wednesday, which will be followed by a banquet.

Rees (10) only stammered at school and only in some lessons. It made
a real difference to him when we arranged an informal meeting for
him, his teacher and his parents. He came up with some sensible ideas
to help his teacher deal with those difficult moments.
