Seattle, get ready to shake up your Saturday: On October 24, Seattle Children's Hospital is hosting the National Stuttering Association Seattle 1-Day Conference at the Sand Point Learning Center! This is your one-stop day to learn, connect and celebrate everything stuttering.

Kids, teens, adults, family members and speech-language pathologists — everyone’s covered with workshops designed just for you. SLPs, level up your skills and earn 0.45 ASHA CEUs. Prepare for conversations that hit close to home and new connections that stick with you long after the Conference ends.

We’ll keep you fueled with coffee, snacks and lunch.

Please email Sarah Onofri, Family Programs Coordinator at NSA, at [email protected] with any questions.

Robotic surgery has transformed adult operating rooms, but it remains uncommon in pediatrics. Dr. Nicolás Fernández is among the national leaders working to change that. His research spans robotic technique, artificial intelligence in the operating room and the evidence base the field still needs. Join us to hear what it takes to bring this technology to children, and where his work is pushing the field next.
Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. Virtual attendance also available.
