Exprime-toi!

À la suite des commentaires positifs de l’an dernier, nous sommes ravis d’offrir cette occasion à nouveau pour les jeunes dans la région de la capitale nationale ainsi que pour les jeunes des environs. Exprime-toi! est basé sur un programme offert à l’université d’Iowa, à la clinique d’audiologie et d’orthophonie Wendell Johnson. L’idée générale porte sur le concept d’offrir des jeunes qui bégaient à se rencontrer afin de partager leurs expériences et leurs supports. Cette expérience leurs offre un défi à sortir de leur zone de confort ainsi d’acquérir de la confiance en utilisant leurs nouvelles capacités linguistiques. De plus, nous avons plusieurs initiatives, activités spéciales et des conférenciers invités de planifiés pour la semaine.

Voici les détails par rapport aux dates, les heures ainsi que l’endroit du camp :

Âges : Proposé aux élèves de la 5e à la 8e année ; les élèves du secondaire sont bienvenus. Contactez la clinique pour en savoir plus sur les autres possibilités de traitement pour cette population.
Date : 12 juillet au 16 juillet 2021

Heures : 9h à 15h30 (Veuillez ramasser les campeurs par 16h au plus tard)

Endroit : Clinique Interprofessionnelle au Perley Rideau, 1750 ch. Russell, Ottawa ON, K1G 5Z6

Teen Summer Camp 2021

The Interprofessional Clinic / Clinique interprofessionnelle is pleased to offer this Teen Summer Camp.

We are excited to offer this opportunity again to children of the National region, and surrounding areas, following positive feedback from both parents and attendees from the previous years. The Express Yourself! Teen camp is based on a program offered at the University of Iowa’s Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Clinic. The general idea is to provide an opportunity for children who stutter to meet, share experiences and support each other, while challenging them to go outside their comfort zone and gain confidence in using speech skills or stuttering easily. We have several special activities, initiatives, and guest speakers planned.

Here are details on the dates, hours and location:

Ages: Proposed for students in grades 5-8; high school students are welcome to apply. Contact the clinic for other treatment options for this age group.
Date: July 12th – 16th, 2021
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. daily (please pick up the campers by 4:00 p.m. at the latest)
Location: Interprofessional Clinic at the Perley Rideau, 1750 Russell Rd., Ottawa ON, K1G 5Z6

Small group therapy announcement

This format involves a five-week block of once-a-week therapy sessions, of 1.5 hours in duration. Therapy is a combination of group discussion and one-one-one therapy, carried out by graduate students in Speech Language Pathology, under the direct supervision of Caroline Bredeson, SLP, coordinator of the Stuttering Treatment Clinic at Perley-Rideau. In addition to being more economically appealing (sessions are $70 each or five for $350), group therapy has been shown to be more effective than individual therapy in generalizing speaking techniques and in managing the negative thoughts and emotions that often interfere with easy communication for those who stutter. Treatment may be offered in English or French, depending on the needs of the participants.
Dates: February 28th to March 27th, 2020. Weekly on Thursday evening.
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Location: Interprofessional Clinic
1750 Russell Rd

$70 per session
Paid next day in clinic or over the phone
Pre-Authorized Credit Card Agreement must be signed

Please contact the Clinic at 613-526-7127 or by email at icadmin@prvhc.com to reserve your place and to process the payment. A minimum number of participants is required to run the program.
