Helping Those Who Stutter Neurobiology of Stuttering: Are there distinct subtypes? By Anne L. Foundas, M.D. The exact cause of stuttering is likely to be complex and may be multifactorial. One potential mechanism relates to a defec- tive speech monitoring system. The basic theory is that ongoing sequential and fluent speech output is dependent on auditory sensory feedback, which moni- tors and corrects errors online. w Film w Insights In normally fluent individuals, a Ne Ne dysfluency would be detected Tools for Success: Solution signs of change along the way. as an “error”, and this error Focused Brief Therapy Taster is a “Solution Focused Brief 1 would be automatically correct- new 3 ⁄2 hour DVD offering high- Therapy has given me a great ed on-line via auditory self- lights from a workshop featuring way to find out what my clients monitoring.

An outspoken advocate of spelling re- form, he spent decades trying to impose order on his 26 lawless charges. As a noted ty- pographer who first plied his trade 99 years ago, he helped bring the art of typesetting from the age of hot metal into the modern era – and he was a per- son who stuttered. Mr. Rondthaler established a national reputation by helping usher in the age of photographic typesetting. Phototypesetting was for decades a vital bridge between the hot-metal days of old and the dig- ital typography of today. A man of strong constitution and ardent enthusiasms, Mr. Rondthaler died on Aug. Photo by Joyce Dopken of the New York Times. 19, 2009.

LEGGETT In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science July, 2006 © Michael Robert Leggett, 2006 ii ABSTRACT AS DROPS BECOME WAVES: A CASE STUDY OF EDUCATION AND TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE SISTEMA APRENDIZAJE TUTORIAL (SAT) IN RURAL COLOMBIA Michael Robert Leggett Advisor: University of Guelph, 2006 Professor H. Hambly This thesis takes the form of a single case study focussed on the SAT programme, a capacity building approach to community development offered through an alternative secondary educational programme in Colombia. The thesis is an investigation into the conceptions and experiences around personal and social transformation of graduates of SAT in the department of Risaralda. These experiences are analysed in relation to current theoretical approaches in education, rural development and capacity building, in order to address knowledge gaps in these literatures with the insights learnt from the SAT programme in Risaralda. In-depth interviews, participant observation and review of secondary literature were employed as data collection methods, and qualitative coding of interviews served as the primary mode of data analysis Findings highlight the value of service as a practical and motivational bridge between the personal and the social, and the role of spirituality in reconfiguring concepts of the self and the community as fluid elements that blend into each other. i DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the SAT graduates interviewed in this study, who, out of a passion for learning and a sincere love for others, and through incredible hardship, have dedicated their lives, their talents, and their tears to an enduring vision of human prosperity and rural well-being.
