In the past the signal has included:

o     interviews with therapists who have made a major contribution to the field of stammering therapy
o     articles on approaches and current issues
o     reports from conferences and courses
o     international contributions
o     summaries of SIG study days
o     updates on SL&T under-graduate training in stammering
o     book and journal reviews
o     letters
o     notice board

signal has received praise from within and outside the SIG membership. It has flourished due to the willingness of SIG members (and others) to commit themselves to paper. Jan is always delighted to hear from anyone who is willing to contribute.

Guidelines for contributors
Preparing signal for publication can be a time consuming task. Jan recently updated her computer and is now on line.  Feedback and contributions to the newsletter can therefore be received via e-mail. Where this is not possible, the favoured alternative is a floppy disc (preferably in Microsoft Word, formatted for Apple Mac or Word in PC format). Typed submissions are the next best option. Short hand written items can be accepted but this does increase the editor's workload!

If you would like to contribute to signal or offer any feedback, please contact Jan Anderson at:
