Camperdown Program Workshop 2025

About the Camperdown Program Workshop

The Camperdown Program is a treatment for adults and adolescents who stutter. The aim of the program is for clients to learn a speech technique to help them control their stuttering in situations of their choosing.

The Camperdown Program is most often implemented during weekly consultations with a speech pathologist, in the clinic or via telepractice; however, it can also be implemented in a group or intensive format. While the workshop will focus on individual weekly treatment, other formats will be discussed.

This Camperdown Program workshop has been revised to reflect the new terminology and procedures outlined in the 2024 Camperdown Treatment guide. It is designed for speech pathologists who are interested in using the program to treat adults or adolescents who stutter. It integrates some theory and research evidence, where relevant, for understanding program concepts. However, the workshop will be practical-based with a focus on the skills needed to implement the various stages of the program. 

The workshop includes short presentations, small- and large-group practical activities, viewing and discussion of treatment videos, and problem-solving activities.

At the conclusion of the workshop, the participant will be able to

• understand the context and evidence for the Camperdown Program
  
• understand the concepts and components of the Camperdown Program
• confidently implement the components of the Camperdown Program
• understand and teach client problem-solving strategies

Further information and resources for the Camperdown Program can be found on our Camperdown Program resource page.

This workshop will be presented by Zoom, over four modules and is open to speech pathologists. Please contact Monica Bain at cpes@uts.edu.au if you are outside of Australia prior to registration.
