People living with aphasia, their families, aphasia clinicians and researchers will once again come together at the National Aphasia Association's Speaking Out Conference. Speaking Out will be part of the FLASHA Convention program, and FLASHA attendees will have the option to attend both traditional presentations on the FLASHA program or consumer-oriented programming that will be part of the Speaking Out conference. The FLASHA Annual Convention will be held May 22-24, 2014 in Orlando this year. USF faculty Cheryl Paul, Donna Polelle and Jackie Hinckley are helping to plan the event along with faculty at UCF again for the third year.
The 2012 program, also held in Orlando, drew 100 attendees who gained social support and information about living with aphasia. This year, the program will not have any financial support from the National Aphasia Association. Sponsorships and advertising opportunities are available for facilities and corporations, and donations of any size from individuals are gratefully accepted. Please contact Cheryl Paul (capaul@usf.edu) or Jackie Hinckley (jhinckle@usf.edu) for details. Plan to attend with your clients, former clients, and aphasia groups!
