We are a support group geared toward attracting new people. While many chapter members are undergoing or have completed formal speech therapy programs, the NSA is not a therapy group and talking at meetings is voluntary. What We Do . . . We then break for refreshments before the program begins. The program is led by a volunteer facilitator who selects an activity or topic for discussion.
All participation is voluntary.
We encourage each other to stutter openly, work on fluency techniques, or try out new speaking behaviors. Some meetings feature visits from local speech-language pathologists or others who have insights on stuttering. You don't have to be invited. The Houston Chapter holds an annual workshop on stuttering and organizes social activities such as a weekend beach house outing, our annual Christmas party, or just getting together at a restaurant. We're interested in extending our outreach activities to people who stutter and their friends and families throughout the Houston metropolitan area.
