Casa Futura Technologies gives away MPiStutter app free

Casa Futura Technologies is applying for a $250,000 grant to train
speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use their MPiStutter and
iParkinsons iPhone apps. If you vote to help Casa Futura Technologies win
this grant, they will give you or your SLP the MPiStutter app free.* It
just takes a minute:

- Go to https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com/.
- Click “Log in & Support.”
- In the “business name” search field enter “Casa Futura”.
- You’ll see “Casa Futura Technologies”. Click the blue “VOTE” button on
the right.

MPiStutter is an iOS (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) app to support Minimum
Phonated Interval (MPI) stuttering therapy. It analyzes the user’s vocal
fold activity and trains him or her to eliminate too-rapid speech elements
and speak fluently at a normal speaking rate.

*The fine print: You must vote before midnight Saturday, June 30. They are
only giving free apps to SLPs. Consumers can request a free app for their
SLP. Apple limits Casa Futura Technologies to 50 free copies of each app.
If they find a way around this restriction they will give a app free to
everyone who votes. After you vote send an e-mail to
sales@casafuturatech.com requesting MPiStutter and include your ASHA
membership number (or the name and e-mail address of your SLP).

Upcoming events for the summer

For those of you in the greater New York/New Jersey area, Barbara Dahm will be available for therapy sessions and initial consultations this summer at The Ridgewood Speech and Language Center in Midland Park, and Tender Touch Therapy in Lakewood, New Jersey. Clients beginning face-to-face therapy will also have the option of continuing treatment via the web.

In addition, Barbara will be available to work with clinicians looking to expand their expertise in stuttering treatment.

For an appointment, please contact us at barbdahm@gmail.com or by phone, please call us at 201-378-0089.

Barbara will also be giving a workshop at the National Stuttering Association Convention in Cleveland between July 7-11, 2010.  She will be talking about the disparity between research and treatment for stuttering and explaining how this can be overcome. It looks like it will be a great convention. It’s an opportunity for people who stutter and their families to meet and discuss all aspects of stuttering and to have lots of fun with a great group of people.
