Welcome to the fifth!! International Online Conference on Stuttering, chaired by Judith Kuster, Minnesota State University, Mankato. Online conferences have been an integral part of International Stuttering Awareness Day which began in 1998. ISAD is organized by Michael Sugarman, Oakland, California, and recognizes the growing alliance between speech-language professionals and consumers, who are learning from each other and working together to share, give support, and educate one another and the general public on the impact that stuttering has on individuals' lives.
This year's conference focuses on general issues about stuttering. It is designed for people who stutter, their families and employers, the professionals who work with them, students in training and their instructors. Thank you for your participation.
Beginning October 1 there are 5 panels and 30 invited papers linked below for you to read at your leisure. There is also a section - "The Professor is In" - where you can ask questions of several professionals. The contributions in this conference reflect professional and consumer interests about stuttering and are presented by over 60 individuals representing 14 different countries on 6 different continents (with one who has been to Antarctica as well!). Each paper also has a threaded discussion page for your comments and questions. By October 22, 2002, International Stuttering Awareness Day, the authors of the papers will respond as they wish. Feel free to post your questions/comments at any time and check back on International Stuttering Awareness Day for any response from the author. Contributors to the conference are solely responsible for the information they provide. The conference organizer and Minnesota State University cannot be responsible for nor can we attest to the accuracy or efficacy of the information others provide. The authors' papers will be permanently archived on the Stuttering Home Page for you to read at any time. (http://www.stutteringhomepage.com).
Instructions - please read! The papers are linked to the button to the left and are also hyperlinked. After you have opened the paper, the link will turn green to remind you that you've already opened that paper. The questions/comments page may be accessed at the top or bottom of each paper, or from the link after the title of the paper in the index. Please read the instructions on how to post questions at the top of each of the question/comments pages. For AOL users (and perhaps some other ISPs) your post may not appear until the following day due to a "dynamic caching" feature of AOL.
Remember that there are many people writing and attending this conference for whom English is not their first language. The Altavista Translation Service may help those who don't read English well to understand some of these papers. If you put the URL (address) of any paper into the above site, you can ask that the paper be translated into German, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, or Portuguese. It will not be a perfect translation, but you should be able to get the idea.
Please ask questions that are relevant to the papers and refrain from developing a personal topic. It is expected that participants will remain cordial. The coordinator of the conference retains the right to delete posts considered inappropriate.
One final request - you are of course free to read and respond to any/all of the papers. For students and others intending to read all of the papers, I have a request. Those whose last names begin A-L, please start reading the conference papers from the last paper to the first. For those whose last names begin M-Z, please start with the papers at the beginning. Thank you for your cooperation.
Office Hours - the experts

Conference Available to Read Off-Line
PC users with limited access to internet connections, may wish to DOWNLOAD THE CONFERENCE
Viren Gandi from India has created a single file of all the conference papers that can be downloaded on a PC to be read offline. When the files are downloaded, it creates the same structure as it is on Internet with Dir Names as www. And also it creates an Opening Page. When you click on it, it opens the ISAD5 Main Conference Page and then you can browse complete ISAD5 Offline as it is on Internet, but without access to all the questions/comments and answers. I am not a PC user but was able to download it on a PC and it worked. I also asked two others to test it, and it worked for one but not the other. So there are no guarentees, but feel free to try it if you have a PC and don't have easy online access. If you have questions, please address them to Viren Gandi (viren_gandhi@yahoo.com).
If you want to participate in the discussion, or read the discussions, you will have to return online to the conference.
