Registration - Questions and Answers

Question:     Should I register for the Annual Meeting, the Voice Institute, or both?

Answer:        Register for EITHER the Annual Meeting OR the Voice Institute, NOT BOTH.

Question:     Which one should I register for?

Answer:        Most people have a choice.

The Annual Meeting runs from Thursday July 20th through Saturday July 22th.  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 Wednesday July 19th through Saturday July 22th.  It is designed for laryngectomees (in two categories), speech-language pathologists, and students in graduate programs in speech pathology.  It is an intensive four days 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.

(2)  Laryngectomized Trainees (LT) are laryngectomees who attend from Wednesday through Saturday.  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 Wednesday through Saturday.  Approximately 3-4 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 Wednesday through Saturday.   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.
