UI SHINE (University of Iowa Summer Program for Youth Who Stutter or are Deaf/Hard of Hearing in an Inclusive, Nurturing Environment), used to be called UISPEAKS, to better reflect our philosophies and goals is offered in the summer.  

This 4-day summer program was created for children and teens ages 7–17 who stutter or are deaf/hard of hearing. Participants engage in a number of activities to develop communicative confidence and self-advocacy using individual and group speech therapy sessions. Camp this year will take place on July 27-30th, 2026! 

Collaboration with school-based and/or private speech-language pathologists is available and encouraged.
