Saying our names is always one of the most difficult things we do, so we can use this time to challenge ourselves in the introductions and share how our month has gone. After the introductions we take a short social break before the program begins. The program is led by a volunteer facilitator who selects an activity or topic for discussion. These topics have a very wide range dealing with any subject dealing with stuttering. Past subjects have included job interviewing, how stuttering affects personal relationships, therapy overviews, videos, family involvement, and a host of other interesting topics relating to the challenges we all face in dealing with stuttering in our lives.
All participation is voluntary.
But at all times, just being there is enough. Some meetings feature visits from local speech-language pathologists, students or others who have insights on stuttering.
