Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 28, 2006 -- SpeechEasy, the leading provider of technologically advanced devices that help people who stutter to speak more fluently, took part in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Convention November 16-18, 2006 in Miami Beach, Florida.

SpeechEasy provided the opportunity for industry professionals to see first hand the size and format of the SpeechEasy device. Speech Language Pathologists were also afforded the opportunity to listen to the device and view a series of before-and-after video testimonials. Amber Snyder, MS, CCC-SLP of Janus Development Group -- SpeechEasy's parent company, hosted a technical presentation with an in-depth discussion of how the SpeechEasy device functions and the related research. Vivian Topp, M.Ed., CCC-SLP, Miami SpeechEasy Dispenser, was also present and available to those seeking more information.
