Registration - Questions and Answers
Question:
Should I register for the Annual Meeting,
the Voice Institute,
or both?
Answer:

NOT BOTH.
Question:
Which one should I register for?
Answer:
Most people have a choice.
The
Annual Meeting
runs from Thursday July 8th through Saturday July 10th. It is designed for
laryngectomees, family members, and others. The Annual Meeting is three
days of educational and social programs on most aspects of life as a
laryngectomee. Those attending the Annual Meeting may also attend sessions
of the Voice Institute on a space-available basis.
The
Voice Institute
runs from Tuesday July 6th through Saturday July 10th. It is designed for
laryngectomees (in two categories), speech-language pathologists, and students
in graduate programs in speech pathology. It is an intensive week of
lectures and hands-on experience on all aspects of laryngectomee
rehabilitation. There are four categories of Voice Institute attendees:
(1) Voice
Institute Pupils (VIP) are laryngectomees
who attend primarily in order to improve their speech and to serve as
demonstration subjects for others in the Voice Institute. They are welcome
to attend all week, but are only required to attend from Thursday through
Saturday (8th - 10th).
(2) Laryngectomized
Trainees (LT) are laryngectomees who
attend from Tuesday through Saturday (6th - 10th). If they wish, they may take a test
at the end of the week. After passing the test and completing a one year
internship under the supervision of a trained speech pathologist, they may elect
to be listed in the IAL Directory of
Alaryngeal Speech Instructors.
(3) Speech
Pathology Trainees (ST) are
speech-language pathologists who attend from Tuesday through Saturday (6th -
10th). Approximately 3.8 Continuing Education Units
(CEU's) are available for this
Institute. If
they wish, they may take a test at the end of the week. After passing the
test and completing a one year internship under the supervision of a trained
speech pathologist, they may elect to be listed in the IAL
Directory of Alaryngeal Speech Instructors.
(4) Graduate
Students (GS) are individuals who are
enrolled in graduate speech pathologist programs. They attend from
Tuesday through Saturday (6th - 10th). If they wish, they may take a test at the end of
the week. After passing the test and completing a one year internship
under the supervision of a trained speech pathologist, they may elect to be
listed in the IAL Directory of Alaryngeal
Speech Instructors.
All Annual Meeting and
Voice Institute sessions are conducted in English.
