The NSA has over 4000 members nationwide and operates a network of 75 local support groups. The Buffalo Chapter is one of those groups. The Buffalo Chapter was formed in 1994 and has about 30 active members. After a short business meeting, a volunteer facilitator will chose a topic of discussion. The topic can range from a speech or coping related issue to a hot topic in the news.
All participation is voluntary.
You do not have to be invited. The Buffalo Chapter holds annual workshops on stuttering in the Fall and in the Spring each year and organizes social activities such as our annual anniversary party, chapter picnic, and Christmas party. We're interested in extending our outreach activities to people who stutter and their friends and families throughout the Western New York area. The featured speakers are Robert Quesal, PhD from Western Illinois University and Gary Rentschler,PhD from Duquesne University. There will also be a youth day for children ages 6-12, their parents and also a separate workshop for teens who stutter.
