Elaine Kelman and Scott Palasik join Peter Reitzes to discuss The International Fluency Association’s 2015 World Congress on cluttering, stuttering and other fluency disorders which will be held in Lisbon, Portugal from July 6th-8th 2015. This event is a collaboration between the International Fluency Association (IFA) and the International Cluttering Association (ICA). Self-help organizations and individuals with fluency disorders will also be actively involved, during both the planning phase and the event itself. All three speakers on today’s episode expressed how impressive the list of presentations, events, keynotes and poster sessions are for this World Congress and how challenging it is to choose only a few to discuss on air. The following presentations were discussed on air and constitute only a small sampling of the scheduled World Congress events:
