ELSA's past highlights and accomplishments OCTOBER 2003 On 17-19 October 2003, ELSA hosted a conference in Strasbourg with the title 'Stuttering and Disability Awareness', within the framework of the European Year of People with Disabilites. The topic of raising awareness of stuttering was discussed, and within the context of the EYPD we explored what can be done to improve the conditions for people who stutter (pws) Europe wide. We looked at the how the increased use of the internet has provided for improved access to information for pws and their families. Additionally we explored how EU and national legislation can be of benefit to pws. The meeting was planned to coincide with International Stuttering Awareness Day 22 October 2003. The meeting was hosted by the Association Vaincre Le Bégaiement (AVB) in conjunction with the European League of Stuttering Associations (ELSA).
